Make sure that you have all of the variables set correctly in the configpal.php script. Remember to use board keywords and not the title to specify what boards to use.

One thing to keep in mind is that the display is based on threads group access. If there are new threads but only in posts that members can see or specific groups then only they will see them listed in the current threads or top threads boxes.
