I'm developing and testing a new Recent Forums Posting block that allows you to Expand and UnExpand to see as many recent topics as you desire. My purpose is to try to save as much real estate as possible and decrease load time a little. I'd appreciate some feedback on it. I'm still tweaking the heading placement but other than that it seems to be working.
I'm thinking of adapting this to the messages and news also. Thoughts? Comments?
Re: New Recent Posts Block (Score: 1) | ![]() | Wow very sexy looking block!This block would not only free up space on the front page but also make it very simple to review forum activity.A similar news block would work even better because rather than a bunch of posts it will be a single block expandable to show all news. GREAT WORK raven |

I'm grateful that the 'Raven' is not selfish, and willing to share some his marvelous creations. I really like that block, can't wait for the release :) |

Once I standardize the code to work with nuke, you will be able to use it where ever you want :). |
Re: New Recent Posts Block (Score: 1) | ![]() | Raven, I really like that block. The scrolling forum's block takes up way to much real estate. I think that having motion on the page is eye attracting, and your new block accomplishes it all with a very small footprint. Thanxs, Steve |

Re: New Recent Posts Block (Score: 1) | ![]() | Well, I wanted to add the Messages and Stories in, but their seems to be no way to avoid having to customize code in EVERY theme! I am still looking into this, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort. |
Re: New Recent Posts Block (Score: 1) | ![]() | What a cool block!! I want one. My current Forums Summary, with the last 20 recent posts, takes up way too much space. Will posts available only to moderators be visible? |

It depends on the block. In the block that I use, I have made them NOT visible. This will be the block that I will make available. |
