Well what you could do to make it even simpler, so it doesn't take up a lot of space is do something like this (Excuse the the horrible graphics, haven't reinstalled PS yet)

The top part is tabs, so you can click through the tabs to see the 5 most recent posts. Don't know if it could be done but would be cool.




Also, a cut of on the topic title should be made just in-case you haven't thought of that yet. (By cut I mean if the topic title is too long it will cut it off just like the post content.)

@SM
If I understand you correctly you mean have second most recent topic etc? That is already implemented. Check out the link in the topic about how to change that.

@Daman
Of course that couldn't be done in trap17's bbcode. And for a website it wouldn't matter because we wouldn't need an image in the first place we could just print out the content dynamically.

Well I just believe it is too big as it is now, for forum signature uses. Even if it is in a hider thing.

Nice work, great feature to have. I'll probably use it when it has more features. If not suggested already, perhaps hosting credits? Sorry if it can't be done or already suggested.

Due mainly to lack of time on my part I have currently put this project on halt. I might be returning to it soon, however if sombody wants to take the source code and run with it they are more than welcome to.
------Here is the source code--------
The only reason I haven't released it until now is because I was slightly embarrassed with the quick and sloppy programming job I did, and I did borrow some functions to make bold text etc. Just a quick note if you just copy this source code and put it on your server it will most likely fail unless its on trap17, just because the md5 check will have a different IP address to hash. The MD5 check in this source code was "880ea6a14ea49e853634fbdc5015a024", (in the comment on the first line of last.php), but you must change it in the fopen statement (line 9 on last.php). The way to get the md5 check of your particular server is to fopen this url:
http://www.trap17.com/forums/-m1.html
and print out the source, find the javascript value that says var ipb_md5_check= and use that particular number. You must do this instead of viewing the source in your browser because the md5 check hashes your IP address in a way I was unable to figure out so your server must load this variable.

Awesome, I may try to implement a colors feature in the URL. It doesn't seem very hard to do.

Congratulations This is very good script, but doesn't this need lots of bandwidth? Each image is about 30 kb. Lots member and in lots of page, will not this reach to the bandwidth limit?

Keep going.

I suppose it could, however this is the only thing I am using my website for so I should hopefully be ok.
