"Today in History" block

Looks great ... here's another good looking RSS block. 

http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?type=rss;action=.xml;

If there was a way to pull in a site's own RSS from a specific board only and make it look this good - that would be awesome ... I think this box looks better than the "Recent Topics" SSI box.

yeah, it did in fact..

I will look into it. The xml option of SMF is a part all to itself, not "outside" like SSI.php is. But it should be possible to make "recent topics/posts" act like this. Then let the ssi function just do what it already does. As of now, TP's "recent topics" block and the ssi-type block do the same thing really..just slightly different presented.

Should this work with 1.0.5 too ?

[IchBin]

Shouldn't matter with SMF version. TP is what handles it.

Yeepeee, 
I finally got this to work by unzipping the file first, couldn't run it zipped, kept getting Syntax errors? She's goin now though..does this change each day?.. weekly..monthly..et-ceteras??

Love this.

Couple of questions and maybe errors. Mine just looks like a big log of information. The dates are not separated nor in bold font.

Also, is there a way to change the font size?
