Try this, but make sure you keep a back up of your original code just in case it doesn't work,
let me know how it goes. It is a shot in the dark.

I have that plugin but it doesnt work for some reason, it places latest threads on top of forum and not in a sidebar

you can place the variable used by the plugin, in any place you want to display the threads... whats your forum url.. and post your index template here...

theeditorscorner.com/forum

is the url , but at the moment my hosts is having issues , im unable to use my ftp or cpanel , i deleted the them and was going to upload a fresh install , but at the moment i cant do it just now , although you can view my site and choose the vienna theme, there is an issue with the layout maybe you can help , if need be i can create a new thread.
Thankyou

I was having the same problem. I found the solution to this problem here. More specifically, this post. I am now able to add a sidebar, including "Latest Threads" to every one of my themes.

One little piece of code added to your "portal_latestthreads_thread" template and you're good to go.
