Is it possible to show all latest threads on home page?

[System0]

I've come across a few forums that display all latest threads on the home page with forum rooms placed in the sidebar.

I'd love to try this out as I think it would be a good way to kickstart a forum with very few posts etc. Has anyone tried something like this before?

Thanks Jake. I'm actually already using that for my sidebar widgets but I don't think you can place widgets in the centre column. For example, look at the way http://www.blackhatworld.com/ have their home page. I think this is a good way to display posts until the forum gets larger, as it's silly sending visitors to different rooms in order to see 2 or three threads in each room.

I have a custom addon that shows all the latest posts.

That would be a good compromise Andy as my new forum only has a few rooms just now. I could display the latest 10 threads above.

Have you released the add on?
