Yes there will be display options to give you several different combinations. Yes there will be a filter_forums option and it will allow you to exclude or include forums by the forum number.
mark99, I'm actually having a hard time with multiple streams (I thought this would be easy). You shouldn't try to create a new latest_threads2 or else cache files will conflict between your different streams. Last night while I was testing I made latest_threads work standalone but ran into many UBB version conflicts. Works in 6.05 but failed in 6.04x. I hope to nail this one soon.
Someone mentioned a Control Panel earlier in the thread. I don't know if this is such a good idea and could conflict with the multiple streams idea. One main goal I have is to modify less code in the UBB files and work more in the ubb_latest_threads.cgi file. I think CP's are just asking for trouble, and I know Active Topics has CP problems. Especially since infopop comes out with so many new version all the time, I would like to stay away from the ubb code if I could. What do you guys think?
Is a CP needed?
Thanks

p.s. v1.1 will be released thursday evening 7/12/01
