New Forum Questions, suggestions, etc

[Philly Mike]

Let me know what you think of the new recent posts box at the top of the index page.

I'm thinking about moving it to below the forums. May put this to a vote if I receive mixed feedback.

I like it but i think it should be an option in the UCP same with where it goes. I like it on top but some may not. Also would be cool to be able to edit how many posts are shown at a time. another suggestion, make it so that you can set which threads show up there. (like I would like to take out sportier than thou and podcast questions.)
I understand if it is a lot to do and can't be done, but these are just thoughts.
