Well, its official now. Recently Active Threads. (As if you didnt notice it on the titlebar...) Please see Recently Active Threads Faqlet for documentation.

Enjoy and please, if you have bug reports take careful note of what mode and depth and make sure its not something like that. Also, if you have issue with colors please hold your horses there are things in the works. (Although color endpoints for the color blend suitable for your theme are not unwelcome)

Also, IE users may find the following CSS makes the page look a lot nicer: 

p.nnt-p-title {  width: 70%; }
p.nnt-author  {  width: 28%; }

Unfortunately it exploits a bug in IE's handling, and will make Opera browsers do bad things so it cant be included by default (even though compliant browsers should ignore it). Its odd because IMO this behaviour makes a lot more sense to me than what the proscribed rules say. Kudos to anyone that can come up with a legal way to do the same thing using legal CSS. I will even contemplate changing the markup scheme if the proposal seems viable.

Goodnight and enjoy.
