When you want to add widgets just access them with the widget key that you entered when creating a widget. I used this:
Just change the key part and add that code where you want the widget to appear. The rest of the HTML will be easy if you're familiar with it, if not then I can give you a few pointers if you tell me what you want to do

Yeah... and why would you NOT want to show your logged in users the unread threads at the top... why would you want to show them threads they may have already seen instead (which I don't buy as the image I showed you is simply the built in
Recent Topics widget which simply shows the latest threads, even those I have seen)? This gets back to the difference between posts and threads... They are separate (and distinct) aspects... you want the latest posts (which may be in older threads) then use the Posts widget.... if you actually want new Threads (which are Topics) then use the Threads widget. Making a new post in a thread is not going to update the Threads widget, but it will update the Posts widget.If you want other, then you can engage a 3rd party developer to extend a widget for you to update the
Thread if a new post is made.Here for example is the guest view of the
New Threads widget for a guest user
And here it is for my logged in user..
See any difference of import?

Not if you are doing it right... I clearly showed you where a logged in user DOES see the most recent created threads (they are based upon date created and not most recent posts).
Feel free to register at my site and you can see the difference (or lack thereof).. I'll gladly delete your account once you are done once you notify me to do so.
Now, did you use the
Unread or Latest option if using posts?
