 * Hi, discovered the problem was the name of the folder, renamed the plug in folder
   to phpbb_recent_topics and page/menu works, then discovered another error,
 * Warning: Missing argument 1 for phpbb_topics() in /public_html/wordpress/wp-content/
   plugins/phpbb_recent_topics/phpbb_recent_topics.php on line 70
 * Did a search, and found your blog and the answer [http://www.linickx.com/archives/
   273/recent-phpbb-topics-on-wordpress-plugin-v03#comments].
 * Many thanks for this very usefull plugin.

 * Thanks for posting this chrisdoth, I’ve just released version 0.4 (when wp.org
   updates) so it shouldn’t be a problem anymore.
 * I’ll subscribe to this feed so that I can see any further issues.
 * Cheers,
    Nick

 * yeah, should work fine as 2.5 & 2.5.1 are very similar, I guess I should update
   the plugin page 😉

 * Thank you for sharing this! What a godsend.
 * I do not know code, I just fiddle. If I wanted to exclude more than one forum,
   how would I add that to the display.php? I’ve tried a number of things, but my
   ignorance is limiting my ability.
 * I added this:
    `$results = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $TOPIC_TABLE WHERE
   forum_id != 60 ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT $LIMIT");`
 * …But would like to exclude around 15 forums from the recent topic list. Thanks!

 * I got some help from a friend. This is how you do it:
 *     ```
       # Run The query
       $results = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $TOPIC_TABLE WHERE forum_id != 58
       AND forum_id != 60
       AND forum_id != 62
       AND forum_id != 65
       AND forum_id != 66
       AND forum_id != 67
       AND forum_id != 71
       AND forum_id != 72
       AND forum_id != 74
       AND forum_id != 81 ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT $LIMIT");
       ```
   
 * I hope that helps others who are looking to do the same thing!
