I found a way to do the latest posts, almost, but not entirely, like CH does it. On the right hand side you will see a scrolling box. That contains the latest posts. The only twist in the tale is that this box shows only the last post in any individual thread. In other words, if the last four posts on the site were all in one thread, it will only show that thread once; after that it will show the next-to-last thread on which there were any posts. This is not quite what CH does, but I find this quite useful. And the good thing is that it is available in all three pages: the main page, the Coffeehouse Main (or other subforum) page, and each thread.

Also, this view includes posts from every single sub-forum.

Let me know if you have any questions / comments / suggestions.

yep, real nice. this forum is turning out to be quite good. we might never move back to the old CH, once if it comes out of coma.
and that bar graph - all you competitive posters out there - something to aim for.

Can you stop it scrolling? (I know, please all, please none).

I can? How? Let me check the profile options.

It is another thing I really, really, hate - scrolling text!

move one cursor to the scrolling text.

Please bear with my dumbness (senility) but when I move the cursor away from that, it resumes scrolling?

@admin
maybe you can put the first 10 posts and put a link for more...this seems to take up the whole RHS. no room for the bar graph?

Don't think that's possible. I don't know if I should bring back the top-posters histogram... don't want to create competition Smile.
