This hack allows your users to view recent posts directly from the index page. It introduces a new 'View Posts from previous {selection}' on the main page, directly below the 'View unanswered posts' link.

The selection box has the standard search selections (1 day/1 week/2 weeks/1 month/3months/6 month/1 year) and defaults to '1 day'.

Results are shown as a search-like topic list.

If you really want, you can also follow the 'OR' REPLACE in 'templates/subSilver/index_body.tpl' to get results displayed as posts, but personally I wouldn't recommend that.

Guests can also use it (no need to be logged in).

The hack will honor all board restrictions, i.e., no hidden forums/topics will be shown if permissions are insufficient (uses the 'search' logic).

This hack was requested by users that are not online so very often and just want to easily check what has happened recently.
