Quick question, can anyone tell me what block they are using for the main slider under the navbar on www.backcountrypost.com ?
Thanks in advance
That looks like the 'RecentSlider' block to me.

Recent FeaturesThat looks like the 'RecentSlider' block to me.
For some reason, almost all the time the Recent News page is skipping the URL and link text. Doesn't even include them.
Maybe [tabs] bbcode can be the solution.I meant pagination for the single article/post view
This update changes the way the "RecentNews" block works. In order to improve performance across your entire forum, the "auto-promote" feature from defined forums has been removed... instead, only manually promoted threads will appear in the article lists. Getting rid of this feature may add a small amount of work (2 clicks) to promote a thread to an article, but it also saves TWO queries for EVERY thread view. Because of this, I made the decision to get rid of this feature. Please be aware of these changes, before you upgrade.
- Added FIVE "Raw HTML Blocks" to the package. People forget that XenPorta is not only a portal, but also a widget framework; and creating such blocks would be VERY EASY. However, for some reason, Raw HTML blocks still end up being the most requested feature... so I've added them in.
- Added a new "News Categories" block. This is yet another often requested block; this block can work as a "navigation" for your article system.
- You can now force style IDs to specific categories within the article system. So if a user is browsing a category of articles, they will be forced to use that style.
- Categories now have types: "major" or "minor". The distinction is basically visual in the edit categories screen, but you can also set the new "News Categories" block to only show major categories.
- Category displays will now properly show the XenPorta sub-nav, as well as breadcrumbs.
- If you disable the social media icons for an article preview, it will now show the categories for that article.
- Blocks related to other mods, such as XenMedio, XenAtendo, XenRio, etc have been removed. I've decided to include those blocks in future packages of those mods, instead of including them here.
- BUG FIX: Fixed a bug that would often produce an error when viewing the RSS feed of a forum index, which has no threads in it.
- BUG FIX: The twitter widget has been changed to more nicely display twitter's new design.
- BUG FIX: The facebook widget has been changed to more nicely display facebook's new design.
Excellent work Can't wait to get back to xenforo after I finish my damn language pack.You can now force style IDs to specific categories within the article system. So if a user is browsing a category of articles, they will be forced to use that style.
And you did not read the patch notes...The recent News block no longer allows you to choose a forum to pull news from.
Fixed, was an error on my end.
Actually, I was right. the page is missing the forum selector
Sorry my bad, yeah. downgrading as I don't like that at all.And you did not read the patch notes...
I agree entirely. I am perfectly willing to accept the extra two queries globally (and the accompanying performance hit) in exchange for that feature. Unfortunately, for my user-base, the extra two clicks will be the difference between them being able to post news intuitively and having to consult me every time they try. SorryJason, could you not leave the automatic news block as an optional addition via an enable / disable function, instead of removing it as you have?
The difference in work between automatic and two clicks per thread, is actually significant on busier forums.
