Hello Todge. Well it's now where I want it but if you could possibly have a look for me, you'll see that it needs adjusting slightly. I'd like it the same width as the other forums below it.
Thank you.

You have set the width of the Recent Threads Cell to 800px, change that to 'auto' and all should be good.

I'm going to apologize right off the bat, I know very little about coding so I'm using the plug-in as is. When I create a new thread or a user posts those show up in the Recent Threads sidebar and stay posted. It does not seem to recognize updated posts when changes are made to them. I have all 3 boxes checked in the Recent Threads setting tab. All boards are enabled and no boards are restricted.

When I click on a thread, it does show up in the Recent Threads sidebar. However, after I make my changes and move to another thread or back to the main page it disappears from the sidebar.

Am I doing something wrong?

If you'd like all updated threads to be included in the list, you only need the first option selected..

That's excellent Todge, thank you so much. All I need now is to move it up slightly so it's inline with the two sidebars.

Could you help with that please?

Try adding this to the plugins' CSS Styling..

#recent-threads-cell { height: 300px; }
#recent_threads_here { height: 340px; }

You can change the numbers to suite if they are not to your liking.

Ok, I've got it looking the way I want, but I still can't manage to line the top three 'boxes' up.

You currently have this in the plugins' CSS Styling option...

#recent_threads_here {
height: 270px;
}

Try changing it to this...

#recent_threads_here {
height: 240px;
position: relative;
bottom: 30px;
}

Again, you can play with the numbers if needed.

Todge, I guess all this stuff is pretty easy for you but for me you're a genius. I am so interested and fascinated in HTML and CSS and I just need to find time to learn. You and others on Proboards inspire me and I will strive to get better.

Thanks again.

It's all relative.. I have no doubt that there's things you can do that I will struggle with.

And you are most welcome.

One more thing, Todge (I strongly suspect it won't be the last ) The plugin appears when viewing the 2019/2020 Competition Points Won Table (found on the menu bar)

I haven't seen it appear anywhere else but I have noticed a large empty space near the top when clicking on other links.

Thanks.

That is a tough one. I see you are usin version 0.3.6, can you please update that to the latest version from the library.. Version 0.4.0 so we are at least working with the same version.

I was hoping for all 3 options to update in the Recent Threads box, is that not possible?

The options cancel each other out..

All Updated Threads: This will list all threads that have been posted in or created, but the list is filtered, So if member 1 posts in the thread 'Is the Moon Hollow', but later on, member 2 replies in the same thread, only member 2's post will be listed.

Created Threads: This will list threads only as they are created.. No replies will be listed.

All Posts: This is an amalgamation of the two.. All posts will be included in the list, and the list will not be filtered, so if a thread is posted in 5 times, all 5 posts will be included in the list.

So, if you want everything listed, then you only need to select 'All Posts'.

And it's still not showing?

I assume this is a clash with either your forum layout or with another plugin. if you view your forum using a different theme, do the Recent Threads appear on the thread pages?

Hi Todge. I found that I had selected 'yes' for Ancillary pages. I changed that to 'no' and now Recently Updated Threads doesn't show above the Competition Points Won page, so that's good. However, there is a large empty space where presumably Recently Updated Threads would have been. Not a biggy but if there is a quick fix, I'd be grateful.
