New Top 10 Posts Users and Signups mod for VB5

[joeybabbs]

Hi can you look at creating a mod similar to the top 10 stats one that works in VB4?

Welcome to the forums!

I will look into this. For the benefit of others, could you attach a screenshot of what vB4 mod you were referring to?

Sorry for the delay! But something like this....

Thanks for providing a screenshot. What's the difference between Latest Forum News and Latest Posts?

Latest Topic is the newest Topic that has been created. Latest Post should show the most recent posts that have been added/update from members replying to the Topic. In a way, it can also show which Topics are more active because more members keep bumping the Topic to the top. Those Threads should be promoted better.

I'm surprised vB5 only has a module to show latest Topics but not Posts? Unless it's possible, but I just couldn't work it out?

The screenshot says Latest Forum News not Latest Topics.

Yes, but I guess where they put Latest Forum News it just means Latest Topics. Seems OP has the Topics covered as vB5 widget covers that, just it doesn't look like there's a way to display Latest Posts, or is there? I couldn't find it.

To display latest posts, just uncheck the Starter post only checkbox in the Search module configuration. But there's a known bug where order of posts is wrong in some cases.

Yes, I tried it, and you're right; it doesn't work properly.
