I upgraded my board and it still works, so I will give it a yes, it is 3.8.x compatible.

It logs every single user out, or it logs the user out that clicks that link?

After making some template modifications I seem to be having some custom rewrite difficulties for $ppostid (go to last post).

Can you perhaps tell if I might be overlooking something?
Could it be because of the ? character at the end of "What are you listening to right now?" perhaps? (Other special characters does seem to get stripped)

Edit:

Strange, it only seems to happen when hovering a thread. After submitting the link it automatically gets rewritten to #post85186

Could this still cause duplicate content you think?

Is there an option to only show this for members only and not for guests?

The problem I have with 3.8 is...

Lets say I post in a thread. Then someone replies. It will show his reply in the latest posts, but not mine.

It always shows the latest post from a thread.

You could change

$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$ppostid

to

$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$pthreadid

in the Latest X Post on Forum Home > main code plugin, however the date and time shown will be from the latest post, not from the first post.

(Michael's Latest X Threads on Forumhome might be a better alternative for you. Or you can try both.)

The easiest way would be to add this in your forumhome_latest template

It should work with 3.8.x. Do not PM me with the same exact message of your post. That is the fast track to my ignore list.

sorry for the late reply. i was having some sort of logout issues anyway with the forum, regardless of both of your products. it was something in the navbar. i reverted the template, then put the link for the last 50 back, and it worked. everything is fixed.

the reason i found this is because a member that used IE said that clicking 'log out' made her computer freeze up, so i went looking online and found that people who reverted the templates fixed the problem.

so, navbar template, something i did, im not sure what. :/

thanks for the reply, and again thanks for the mod

I have the latest posts displayed on my forum homepage.

However, when I close a particular thread on my forum, that thread gets totally removed from the list of latest posts.

Is it not possible to close the thread but still show that thread's posts in the list of latest posts?
