i have a unix server, and would be willing to help out with the testing / experimentataion.
lemme just be clear as to what im interested in getting out of this modification:
id like to have the 5 or 10 (# determined by admin in the CP) most recent, active topics (new topics and/or newest replies) listed on the bottom of atleast my ultimatebb.cgi's forum summary. id like them listed in a table that displayes the topic, the poster, the time/date, as well as the first 20/50 or so words (again, # determined by admin in the CP) of the reply.
possible variations could, perhaps, include some forum-specific tables, where, say, upon entering a "baseball" forum, there's a table at the bottom with the 5 most recent baseball replies/posts (this'd be cool, but certainly not necessary)
