XF 2.1 Latest threads

[JoyFreak]

I just wondered why there isn't a tab/feature for "New threads" on the What's new page: https://xenforo.com/community/whats-new/
There is one for New posts but that gets updated due to new content but would have bee good to have one that is strictly for new threads being created.

Anyone know an add-on for this or a way to achieve this?

Ah. I have that addon, but couldn't remember how it worked there. I could never enable their New Threads because it conflicts with Xon's Prefix Essentials addon.

Report it to Xon or ThemeHouse. I’m sure they’ll get a fix in for you.

Reported it to both of them last December.

Yeah that is exactly what I've done and tricked the widget/block to look like part of the What's new. I've limited the entries to 40 as it will look messy if its anymore than that on one page. Shame there isn't a pagination for it but this is as close as it will get to what I want doing. I think this can be achieved with an add-on but there isn't one available, who knows, someone might make one in the future. Here's what I have done: https://www.joyfreak.com/whats-new/

What did you exactly do to display "Latest threads" tab?

I customized it to look like it's part of the "What's new" when really it's just a widget.
Simply add a "New threads" widget onto the "What's new" page.

Right, with Display style: Full.
Many thanks!

@JoyFreak did you find a way to have pagination for the latest threads, i.e. to have "View more" button?

No, sorry just used a widget instead. I think you might be able to achieve it with the trending threads add-on by themehouse though!

This will give you "Load more" for a New threads widget:
