Thank you Steve.

Is there one that shows the page numbers at the bottom of threads so we don't have to scroll up to go to the next page?

Is this what you are looking for?  - Add pagination links to the bottom of threads

Yes, thank you Steve.

Btw, what tags do I put so that it shows on the right side instead of the left?

I want the page numbers on the left at the top, but on the right at the bottom.

is it possible to show more than one "last" post? how about the latest 5 posts?

[Former Member]

Hi, @pbaddict

It's not possible I'm sorry - The latest posting at the top of the forum copies
the last post information from info centre

Hi Steve,

ever since I installed that code, all the categories are centered instead of at the left like they used to be. Even the shoutbox 'shouting as' window and toolbar is at the center. You can click on the link in my signature and see what I'm referring to. How can I fix it so that they're flush left again?

[Former Member]

Hi, PF

I do apologize it looks like I missed adding the end center closing tag </center>
I have updated my first post to correct it

This should fix it


<center><div class="container">
<div class="title-bar"><center><h2>Welcome To The Forum</h2></center></div>
<div class="content">
<br /><center>Our Latest Posting $[last_updated_thread.recent_link]<br>

It was probably my fault because I didn't want the 'birthday' part and removed it. I must've inadvertently removed that tag as well.

Thanks.

Hi @xsteveuk
Is there a way to add "by" and "when" next to "Our Latest Posting"?

for instance, if it were referring to this thread it would say:

Our Latest Posting Show the latest posting at the top of your forum by game 2 minutes ago


Thanks.

[Former Member]

Nevermind.
I actually went into my headers and footers and figured it out on my own, lol.

If any one was wondering:


Just replace
Our Latest Posting $[last_updated_thread.recent_link]
with
Last Updated: $[last_updated_thread.recent_link] by $[last_updated_thread.last_post.created_by]
($[last_updated_thread.last_post.created_on])

Just replace the text "Last Updated:" with what you wish.

To remove the brackets around the "time", use this instead of the quote above

Last Updated: $[last_updated_thread.recent_link] by $[last_updated_thread.last_post.created_by]
$[last_updated_thread.last_post.created_on]

@xsteveuk

Thanks so much for this, it is brilliant!

A small request, I have added this code


<div class="content">
   <center>Our Latest Posting: $[last_updated_thread.recent_link] by $[last_updated_thread.last_post.created_by] ($[last_updated_thread.last_post.created_on])
(Check links above news for more)  
</center></div></div></center>
by cutting and pasting your code without really knowing what I am doing, because all we want is the latest post in a little white round box without a title bar etc so I cut that bit out.

You can see the result here:

freemotorhominguk.boards.net/

What I would like to know from steve or anyone else who knows about css etc is there a div class code I can add to round the top of that box off with curves and a little black line so it looks better ?

Thanks in advance for your help.
