Can the default be set to threads?

Better still, can you also add the option to let user's choose? (Mods would prob prefer sections - members would prob prefer threads)

I really like this feature - good work!

Also quick question - thread icons? I noticed there aren't any here - is this an ACP option or have they been ditched? (If so any plans to bring them back? Better still go with something like thread prefixes where admin can decide between offering an image or text) (Mods feel free to split this bit into a new thread).

agree with the option suggestion
if displaying threads
members can then also use it as a sort of favourites system

Also slightly off topic... but I guess it's easy enough to change the order the blocks? I'd prob put it above the Recent Status Updates block.

Yes, you reorder the hooks under Manage Hooks in the ACP to reorder the blocks.

Brandon, thanks, but you missed the stuff in my first post :(

There is no setting to do this. You could modify the skin template, however, to move the topics tab first and the forums tab second. I believe that would be all you need to do.

Thread icons are supported, but not displayed in the forum listing. It's a simple skin edit to add them back in the forum listing.

Great stuff! Template edits are usually just as good as ACP options to me :)
