Okay, I've created two new and replied to one I had made previously to the Recent threads being added.
Would it look better if it could fill the box, rather than the container within the 3rd box? if that makes sense? as well as geting the font and size to match the rest of the boxes. If it's going to ruin things, don't worry.

Nah it's fine like this. I just needed to get an idea of what everything is going to look like with content inside.
So, we're going to go back to the stylesheet for these edits. Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way down to the very last line, and create a few new lines after the last closing }
For clarity and organisation, let's then add this:
/* === Start Recent Threads Plugin CSS === */
This way, we can make sure you know where to go if you need to edit anything else (as an aside, you can do something similar for the container CSS, if you want to do that we can do that after this).
After you input the above text, it should be greyed out in a fashion -- this indicates that the text between /* and */ is considered a comment and will not be considered part of the CSS.
Next, create a new line and add the following:
#recent-threads-title { display: none; }
#recent-threads-cell { border: none; height: fit-content; font-size: 11px; }
#recent-threads-cell a { font-family: "Arial Narrow", sans-serif; }
Let me know when that's done, and tell me if it's to your liking. A note: I changed the link font to match the non-linked font, but if you don't like that you can remove the CSS bit I marked above in GREEN.

Super! The next part is to fix the fact that the box is too high for the container it's in, which is making the scrollbar appear even though it really shouldn't.
For this we're going to edit the plugin CSS directly instead of overwriting it in your themes.
Go to the plugin settings and find the box that says "CSS". In this box should be the following property and value:
#recent-threads-cell { height: 200px; border: 0px solid black; }
Note that this may be on all one line, and not one line per each property.
Remove the height: 200px; and make sure not to leave an empty space for neatness, if applicable. Save your changes, then refresh the home page. The scroll bar should disappear.
If this is to your liking, then we can call it done!
Or, if you want to add a direct link to the Recent Threads page, let me know and we can do that too (: Up to you!

Would it be able to add the link? Then I think I'll be done bothering you

Hey, sorry for the delay, I've been swamped!
We have two options here:
1. Link the container title itself 2. Don't like the title, but have the link IN the title area.
Which would you prefer?

Hello, Kami I have used this on my site and wondered if there was a way to make a few alterations? I have found one on a site hosted by JcInk that I like the look of, and wondered if there was a way to mimick it's layout on here? Here is a screengrab of the table; prntscr.com/juegcc and this is the site link; deepinthemeadow.jcink.net/index.php?Also, I don't know if you would know if there was a way to get the side bar redux to work on the site without messing up the layout.

This was my thread, on an old account. I have access to the site I was using on the Koakiin account if you need proof?

Oh, I see. That's fine, I'll take your word for it. 1) With regards to altering the table, yeah, it's possible, but I'll be honest with you and say that I'm not particularly interested in re-writing the code myself; I can walk you through it, assuming you have a basic understanding of HTML and CSS terminology? 2) With regards to the sidebar, since I do not know why it's "not working" I can only hazard a guess but I suspect that the fact that the side table is placed inside the forum wrapper and is a fixed width is messing with the widths of the tables. You'll have to play around with the widths we established previously to find a width that suits your needs.

Okay that's fine, I will try and do as best as I can with the information you give me.
I will figure out the table myself then. Thanks.

I'm willing to assist / answer any questions if you have them, though you can also always wait to see if someone else is willing to assist as well.
I do apologise, I'm just really busy lately and re-writing this is not something I'm capable of doing time-wise.
