Scrolling Topics

[Destri]

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but is it possible that a 'latest topics scrolling app' will be considered in a future upgrade for the forums, or is this not possible? this was the first thing members checked on my previous forum

Our portal system allows you to display the latest topics in a list (not really 'scrolling'), but I bet a coder could make the list scroll? I believe we let you show up to 20 topics on the portal page.

Yes, I know there are several ways to check latest/newest topics, (members are getting used to it) it's just we had a widget with forumotion, members used this more than searching for topics and have asked me about it, and since I dragged them all across to ProBoards, just thought I'd ask if it was possible, it's no biggie really, thanks for the info

We will add this to a list of potential widget upgrades for v5.x

At launch the widget with this info will just be a list like Patrick described. It may be possible to use a plugin or code to make it scroll.

I really like the idea of a scrolling version. I'll make sure we try to get this out in one of the earlier updates when we can. ;D

Thanks for the info, that's good to know
