Is there any way to increase the number of 'recent posts' which are displayed near the bottom of the forum index page?  I think it is currently set to 7, which is too small considering the number of sections.  Maybe 15 would be better?

When I get bored of the Mk5 section, I occasionally like to see if there are any other sections of the forum which I can scare and annoy help with my infinate wisdom!  :evil:

"Quick Links" in the top right, then New Posts

I have that as a browser favourite as well as New Replies.. very handy.

I thought it was this one you'd found http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?action=recent

they're not the same! New Posts just gives topic headlines.. exactly the same as the preview list at the bottom of the front page. 'Recent Posts' shows the actual post/reply.
