Recent post box

Forum URL: benz147.proboards55.com

Is there a way of listing say the last 10 most recent posts in a seperate box to the left or right side of forum page.
Then being able to click on which ever post you want to then view it.

I do realise there is view the most recent posts area.


Example below without the box.

As this would call information from another page without actually displaying the page (thus the Google ads would not be displayed) it would be against the Terms of Service.

sorry not sure what your meaning, maybe the box is confused the issue.
Lets just say then a list showing the 10 most recent posts.

You can provide a link to the page that lists the most recent posts.

ie: (http://XXXXX.proboardsXX.com/index.cgi?action=recent)

But you cannot have any info from that post displayed on the main page.

If it were a box on the side of the forum (which I'm assuming he means) surely it would not go against the TOS because the ads would still be displayed? Since the box would still be on the forum page.

Sorry how can i make that show up the 10 most recent posts.

Thankyou for your help 2xtreme.

I have seen codes posted for side boxes on this forum, they were from people that seem to be well known, so I'm assuming that there is nothing against the TOS. Just look in the codes area of this forum for what you want you'll probably find it there.

YES!!! Thankyou thats exactly what i mean, it's more about the ability to list say the 10 most recent post as i described in my first post, (not so much the box, that's more a frame) so that a member can quickly look to see what thread or category interests them, then click on to read the post and the thread if they wish as well.

I have seen this a several forums.

Again thanks for all the help

No problem, I've wanted a similar code for myself but cannot find one.

The boxes are fine. You just cannot pull information from another proboard page.

This is not possible because ProBoards are coded to break out of frames.

Very sorry 2extreme, I'm not quite understanding what you are saying, I apologise if I'm missing your point.

The way I understand it is, I am not pulling information from another proboard page, it is a list that shows on my forum page and the information into that list is coming from my proboards forum page............so everything is on or from the one page.

[2xtreme]

The info that you want to place on the page is actually being called from a seperate page (where it is posted)

It would require a code that would cause a "hit" on the post page without actually displaying that page.

The TOS states that the Google Ads must be displayed with every "hit".

Unfortunately, it simply isn't possible to do that at this time, sorry

Ok!!! thanks to all that helped out, much appreciated..
