Well I think it would be cool if we could place the recent posts area on top of the page. That way we wouldn't have to scroll down the bottom of the page...

whaddaya think?

I think it's fine there and that you should use the active topics page.

Or you could just go straight to the Recent Posts page...

There are so many alternatives that it isn't worth anyone spending a few hours (or more) adding this feature

Don't go there, Will, 'cause it's not really about that. Think about it, if every suggestion was implemented, this would be one fucked up place. Bricks is right, there's no appearent need for it, and therefor things of more emmidiate concern are focused on.

Not very large of you to tell'em off with "iron administrator" just because you didn't get your idea through, especially since you're not even argumenting for it.

And not to be a follower, but I don't approve of this idea. I, as well, think it's definitely uncalled for, and programming in this option would be a mere waste of time. It's not like it takes forever to scroll down over the page.

Sorry mate, no support.

This could probably be done with Greasemonkey, if anyone wants to go through the trouble.

OMFG duder... if youll look at the top of your screen you'll see a link that says "Active topics"  You want recent posts at the top of your screen well guess what.  Its already there.

EDIT: This would take them days to configure as opposed to your 2-6 seconds to load up the active topics section.  Or it would take you 2 seconds max to scroll down to the bottom.

There, you don't have to scroll down and Bricks doesn't have to waste time changing something as trivial as the position of the recent posts area. What's with these kinds of suggestions anyway? Does having the moderators' names highlighted change anything? What about the people who don't use the recent posts area? Should they be forced to scroll past it? Does it make a noticeable difference if you do have to scroll down to it?
