That's what I settled on.

Can be seen HERE.

Just some color differences?

Some html, removes the divs since the look out of place, moves time to next line

will this work with7.1b5?

Larry

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't

I run it on my 7.1b4 test site without issue.

Does this limit to only show categories available to the user or is there a way to limit forums/categories from being listed?

I don't see it currently in the code, but I might be blind.

The post item is non-permission capable, which means it'll show everything; this is how the stock code works and all this mod does is change how the output lists data.

Yeah, that is what I figured. On my site I have some private areas, like a forum for the Board of Directors, and having these posts pop up wouldn't really be that great. I like the idea of the island, but I would need a way to lock out or pick from specific categories/forums.

Okay, nevermind... I understand now, this is only for the template, you select WHERE is pulls the info from when you create the post island... Great mod, I'm using it now.

Fred

One thing noticed by my users, the date/time is the local server time instead of their local time, any idea how to make it their time?

Fred

Lol yes, it's great to note that you have to choose which forums to pull data from when creating the post island; so if you don't want a private forums data pulled? then don't select it lol...
