Within the Control Panel, click on either: the "Update Layout" button at the bottom of "Portal Layout" the "Submit" button at the bottom of "Portal Settings"
Either of these will rebuild the entire portal on demand

If the recent posts it is listing are truly the recent posts, then it will refresh with the same information until there is new information available for it.
"Recent Posts" is not a default Island. Though, it can be created using a Post Island template.
You may want to revisit your Portal Layout for the Post Island you have titled as "Recent Posts" and confirm the "Island Type" is what you're looking for... ie; New Topics vs Recent Posts. edit: And its cache time
I dont recall that there ever was an issue with this feature not working, but if you're having trouble with this, I'd like to hear more details
Humm, If the post finally appeared then my post in the island is gone now Possibly need to manually delete the cache files and rebuild them. Maybe you have a orphaned cache file.
Other than that Not sure since you say you re saved the settings for the island. Maybe you need to re select the forums included in the island. I know you have been tweaking things.

I did see it, but then I made a test post after you in the same thread.
After I did that I happened to think about changing the who's online settings to 120 min so I could see if any members logged in during that time in case it had some effect on the post Island updating.
After changing the who's online settings I noticed my test post @ 12:53 PM was showing up in recent posts and I made another @ 12:55 PM, which has not shown up yet (52 min now)
Somebody just posted a new topic a bit ago in NEC & other Code issues. I don't know if that forum is included in the island but let's see if it appears.

It is as far as I know. I don't want to Log in and check right now. I know the Gallery is not included.
Some servers will not allow scripts to be executed out of a folder that is CHMODDED 777; if this is true on your server, your base UBB.threads folder (the one holding all of your files) and the admin folder should be 775 or 755.
Lack of proper chmods on the cache builder file should only matter for using the editor in the control panel. You can read about the chmods needed on the UBBWiki article Uploading the Software Files
Just to add Giz. The island seems to be hit or miss to update between 2hours to a few minutes, but eventually it will update. However clearing cache or re-saving the island will update it immediately. I don't have ftp access but checking in the ubb control panel ,permissions pass, cache settings are like 5 minutes for the island and wol is like 10. he says he has not hacked any scripts except for what iassic told him for flushing page views in the login file and some style css settings. Now he does have a few html includes using extenral stuff such as wol in the footer. I have cleaned up a bit and ran all the rebuilders which helped the slow board. but this is still the issue.
I suggested to setup a virgin test board on the site to see if it is a script/library file or possibly a host server issue.
At this point I gave up. Bill has posted that the chmod is 664 so possibly this maybe the cause.

Thanks. But I may add that repeated posts don't update the island either. I forgot to add that.. Meaning reply's in the same topic or different topic or net new topic of the selected forum included have the same result. Also in the island only forums are selected and it is posts not topics. I myself have never seen this before. Enlighten me please.
Oh, he is using 7.5.9
My prior post reply to Giz on chmod 664 was a reply that if it was incorrect then why would clear cache allow it to update.

He does not recall any mod to the code. So i suggested to install a test board with virgin scripts. if it works then it would give us a clue on something is different between the two. I can't use anything like beyond compare because I don't have ftp access.
