Okay - I realise the the IIP has a similar feature - but it would be nice to a) limit it to one forum, or a set number of forums and b) to be able to display this on external sites.
This would enable sites with forums, to offer content to other sites, and so increase the number of visitors to their forums.
Could be especially useful if a forum, was not used for the usual posting of messages - perhaps it is used solely for posting news items - the link on the external site, would then be a list of the latest news items.
at the moment - but expanding all the time....) 
Excellent idea Ian W.
