I have used the mx-portal (now mx-publisher) for many years.  I have considered using IP for one of my sites but I really like the latest posts mod or block that the mx system has (see left block on mx-publisher.com)

Is there anything like that already written for IP.  I have searched through the forum finding nothing relating to this but I may have missed it.

recent posts is integrated into icyphoenix

take a look here http://www.studentink.info/test/index.php

and its simple to add him and put him wherewer you want (left , rigt , bottom , top ,portal forum...)

That is fine,, but the part that is missing is the block we were used to showed a different color if the post was not read yet.  I personally like a static block also.  I imagine the scrolling could be controlled though.

Sorry to bump my own thread, but I am wondering if anyone has modded the Recent Post block to make it show the posts that have NOT been read in a different color or some other indication that they are not read yet?  Also, it would be nice to have the option to show the first X number of characters of the original post in the recent post section for each topic.

I fail to see what this topic has to do with support for Icy Phoenix.
