Recent Treads on Front of DBF Page? Good Idea

[Hotshot]

I thought it would be really cool to have Recent Treads on Front of DBF Page
Because it would be easy to access it and also it will tell you the informations straight away at the front of DBF PAGE...

click a Picture to know what I mean.

The portal could display recent posts.

Anyone else want me to do that?
Alternatively you could use the xml feeds on this forum.
(the orange rss icons).

What is XML mean and what does it do?

(the orange rss icons)  : I saw that and click that

The only problem with such a system is current posts exceeding the display slots allowed. We have this on my forum and sometimes posts are overlooked because people only look at the 5 or so most recent posts. Just something to think about.

IF I was designing my forum and I would put Recent Treads on Front of DBF Page because it is very direct(just one click on the treads you want to read) rather than click general chat >> click the form you want to read.

Hope you understand that.

thank you shocky 

now then can someone explain what XML mean please?

XML doesn't really do anything

It's a way of moving data around really in a way that should be theoretically very compatible between all kinds of sytems, lots of web pages with dynamic content use it these days.
