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.

OK, we did this to re-position your recent threads on the home page..

#recent_threads_here {
    height: 240px;
    position: relative;
    bottom: 20px;
}

Remove that from the plugin CSS...

I also see that you have this too...

#RT-Master {
    position: relative;
    top: 1px;
    margin-top: 20px;
}

Remove the red line.. That should have the same effect as the code you removed, but will not force a height into the empty RUTS cell.

Thank you, Todge. That's perfect now.

No worries...

Hello Todge.
I currently have Recently Update Threads above Important Threads on my forum. Can I have it the other way around please? So, Important Threads at the top with Recently Update Threads just underneath.
Thank you.

Hello Todge. I think I've worked out how to do it! Well anyway, it's working. What I did was to put
<div id="Important_Threads"></div> after $HEADER in the Forum Wrapper and before
<div id="recent_threads_here"></div>.
I just need you to verify that it shouldn't be in the Global Header or somewhere else.
Thank you.

Yup, you got it right.

It would work in the Global Header, but the forum wrapper is better, especially considering V6 will loose the header and footer options.

When a user is creating or replying to a post and hits Add Attachment, the options on the popup window are covered by the Recently Updated Threads Sidebar, which is on the left. Can I set the z-index for the sidebar? Or is there another solution? Thank you.

Unfortunately, that has nothing to do with the z-index. The Attachments pop-up is restricted to being inside the forum wrapper, and when you chose to offset the forum, the wrapper is resized and moved. The pop-up is going outside the wrapper, not behind the sidebar.

I can offset the forum another way by adjusting the margin, but that has other issues.. Please try this version to see if you prefer it.

If not, the only other thing I can think of is to disable the RUTS on the posting page. If you'd prefer that, let me know and I'll make the changes.

Thanks, Todge . I right-clicked and saved, then imported. I get "unknown plugin export version."

Help, please?

Do not right-click the link Todge gave you. You left-click it and download from Dropbox first, then import it.

Strange..

I have saved the plugin again, so can you please try to download and import it again..

Version 0.4.1

Apologies to Kitty Katt ... I didn't notice your response before. And a huge THANK YOU to Todge! It's perfect! The popup floats on top of the sidebar. I really appreciate your eforts.

[Todge]

No worries..

Hiya we just added this onto our forum here championblood.boards.net/forum , I've got two questions to ask that I haven't seen yet. First is how to I get it to start displaying recent threads? I thought I had all the settings in the right place but seems not? Secondly can I move this down so it is inline with the boards and pushes the boards over? When I have it offsite the entire forum it just looks a bit off I'd prefer if I could just offsite it with the boards (leave the banner and everything else where it is?) Ah no worries on that second one I managed to get it working with sidebar reduxe! Just struggling to get the recent sidebars and keep the style going : )

Thank you!
