If you look on the top right of my forum -

http://forums.bellaonline.com/ubbthreads.php

the "Latest Messages" list box shows the title and poster (and time) of each post. Now, you might find this odd, but I have wars that go on in my forum. I have a forum on being married-and-childfree and those people do not get along with say the pregnancy forum members who feel that everybody should have lots of kids. So then when a message shows up on the top right, if it happens to be from the married-and-childfree forum but a pregnancy person happens to click on it and start reading, chaos ensues.

Is there any way to easily customize that listing so it shows the topic name and then *forum name* beneath it instead of the poster. We don't really care who made the post. We care where it is so that people get some sort of a warning which forum they're about to head into smile

BTW in the search box in this forum it says:

Date Range

Maximum date range is 4 .

----------

Shouldn't there be a unit associated with 4? smile

Anyway I figure I should be editing

Template: post_island.tpl

but I don't know what the field name to use would be. I've tried a number of things but haven't guessed right yet.

thanks so much! I guess I need to play peacemaker with my forum members until that's ready.
