Now at Lazarus Homepage in Recent Announcements last topic is "Lazarus
Release Candidate 1 of 1.2 - November 06, 2013, 10:12:02 pm".
I think it's better to sort the topics in this list by the date of
start topic than the date of the last message in theme at forum.

I admit it looks funny, but they where talking about an error that
might still exist in the actual version.

Forum is a forum. Anyone can go back to any topic. I just drew
attention to the fact that under certain conditions the main page may
look a little strange.

... But only for a few moments. Then there is enough going on to get
it into the background.
and if you try to reply in an old topic there is a capcha to bail out
lamers, so you should only add to a discussion if you have something
new to say.
... and then it is worth to be put on the frontpage.
Since we are in the internet, and against filters/censorship everybody
has the right to speak/write, and to be heard/read.

It happens when people add useless posts to old threads (happens more
and more unfortunately these days).

Well if anyone knows how to fix it we can try:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/ssi_examples.php

This is the call used to get the data
Code: [Select]  $posts = ssi_recentTopics($num_recent = 4,
$exclude_boards = null, $include_boards = $smf_announcements_board,
$output_method = 'return', $first_message = true);

I'm still concrned about MainMenu bug you may encounter on Windows 7
(menu items are missing 1-3 pixels). This theme was thoroughly
discussed in the thread of Lazarus release 1 of 1.2. I asked about the
current status of the bug removal in the same thread. Maybe some of
the moderators can put the discussion to a completely new different
thread?

I think it should be function ssi_boardNews
It might look something like this:
Code: [Select]$posts = ssi_boardNews($board =
$smf_announcements_board, $limit = 4, $start = null, $length = 200,
$output_method = 'return');
But most likely $board should not be a name but some number (ID)
I'm absolute zero in php.

Thanks, I ll try to test this, but it might be a few weeks before I
get a chance

Sorry FTurtle, you are right, the "Recent Announcements" should be
sorted by the release-date.
I mistook "Recent Announcements" with "Recent Forum Posts".
Sorry again.

Thanks, tested that, and it works. I applied it to our code base. It
should be rolled out to the live page in the near future.

Yes, I see it works. Very well.
