OK if by chance you did not find the recent topics, scroll block code that Bloc created:
Start a new PHP block the add this code to it and give the title;e you wish:
global $context, $modSettings;
$context['TPortal']['recentboxnum'] = '15';
if(isset($modSettings['recycle_board']))
$bb = $modSettings['recycle_board'];
$what = ssi_recentTopics($context['TPortal']['recentboxnum'], NULL, NULL, 'array');
$counter=1;
$cmax = count($what);
echo '
<div style="width: 100%; overflow: auto; height: 55ex;">';
foreach($what as $w)
{
echo '
<div class="smalltext"><a href="'.$w['href'].'">' . $w['short_subject'] . '[/url]</div>
<div class="smalltext">', $txt['by'], ' ', $w['poster']['link'], '</div>
<div class="smalltext">';
if(!$w['new'])
echo '<a href="'.$w['href'].'"><img border="0" src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/'.$context['user']['language'].'/new.gif" alt="new" />[/url] ';
echo '['.$w['time'].']
</div>';
if($counter != $cmax)
echo '';
$counter++;
}
echo '
</div>';
Once you get this goping you turn off the current recent topics block!
