This is only compatible with 1.8.1 or newer.  This plugin displays the most recent threads from your forum on the index.  You have the ability to control which usergroups can use this feature, which forums to exclude from the results, and if you wish for avatar's to be shown.

1) Upload the zip file to your forum root directory.  Please note there should be a Recent Threads Folder that is in your inc/plugins directory.  This is to make it easier to maintain.
