Initial Comment:
I was hacking about with the code in Runtime.php and 
Manager.php to place the 'show latest posts' code below the list of 
forums.

Just take the code that creates the block and stick it in the end of 
the _list() function, more or less.

This gives a rough approximation of a feature of one of my 
favourite bits of forum software... See http://www.minibb.net/
forums/

That has the Forum list at the top, latest posts below from all the 
forums combined  but with an icon differentiating them. It's a nice 
start page for a forum as you can see what's just been posted 
across the whole board.

Anyway, obviously we'd need to style it in a proper table with a 
template but hack the code in and give it a try yourself. I find it 
quick to use and stops the forum list from just being a list of 
forums with little changing.

It's not a bad way to almost negate the need for tracking new 
posts since the last visit too.
