Looks great, thank you very much

Glad you like it :)

Two questions:

-How can you make the link go to the first unread post, and
-Can you change the picture to the last poster's picture, instead of the topic starter's
-and if not, then how can you remove the picture entirely?

Thank you for this block, it is fantastic! :)

Without wishing to hijack this thread. The following code is code I put together to create a Recent posts block. No images and link is to the last post.

Hope this helps.

<div class='general_box'>

<h3><img src="http://www.mysite.com/forums/public/style_images/greylust/comment_new.png" alt="" />&nbsp;{$title}</h3>

  <if test="is_array( $records ) && count( $records )">

  {parse striping="feed_striping" classes="row1,row2 altrow"}

  <foreach loop="$records as $r">

Excuse my ignorance 3DKiwi, but do you need IP.Content for your code to work?

TIA

Mine seems to have stopped working correctly, yesterday I noticed that the posts had the wrong members attached to them, I recached and it seemed to work fine but today i notice that the time is always PM and it seems to have stopped updating.

Is it a cache issue do you think
