UPDATED
TO NOT SHOW ON THE RECENT THREAD PAGE
- RECENT POST PAGE - BOOKMARKS - USERS RECENT THREAD PAGE
WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM David Clark

<!-- Template Show Number PARTICIPANTS of latest thread at top of boards by xsteveuk -->
{if $[route.name] != "recent_threads" && $[route.name] != "all_recent_posts" && $[route.name] != "bookmarks" && $[route.name] != "recent_posts" && $[route.name] != "recent_threads_created"}
<div class="container" id="boardtop1-important"><center>
&nbsp;<div style="padding:2px;border:1px dashed #cccccc;border-radius:5px; text-align:center;">&nbsp;<font size="3">
<br>Our Latest Thread This Board $[board.display_name]<br> $[board.last_thread.recent_link] By $[board.last_thread.created_by] <i>Replies</i> $[board.last_thread.replies]<br>Last poster to post/comment $[board.last_thread.last_post.created_by]<br>$[board.last_thread.last_post.created_on]
<br><br></font></div></center>
</div><script type="text/javascript">
$('#boardtop1-important .thread-participants').after($('#boardtop1-important .thread-participants').html());
$('#boardtop1-important .thread-participants').hide();</script><br />{/if}

It will show the latest post on the top OF ALL BOARDS
And add the number of replies
THAT THE LAST THREAD HAS RECEIVED

THE PARTICIPANTS NUMBER
IS NOT CLICK-ABLE
IT SHOWS THE ACTIVE NUMBER OF REPLIES
Of THE LATEST THREAD POSTED
ON ALL THE BOARDS

See Screenshots

How it looks on my forum
