that to the right of the category there is some info of the latest post in that category

like this:
Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

    You need to turn on HTML formatting.

    it looks fine it looks like the way you designed it ( i think) but i just wanted it limited to being THE latest topic from each category to be displayed like the image i showed up there something like that

    it would be pretty sweet if this addon made a new column to the right of the category name and description, like IPB forums and punbb have (punbb has like 3 columns actually, but you get the point, hopefully)

    The idea is not to be "like" another forum software. In fact, it's to not be the same as them.

    (say what?) what from other software? the specific feature? yes, it is something every forum software has except vanilla and BBpress ( i think) there may be more

    This feature always annoyed me, especially on busy forums where categories would have many new comments since my last visit. The best substitute Vanilla has is Discussion Overview which shows the most recent discussions (plural) in each category.

    Showing only the latest discussion in a category works on small forums, but it's not scalable.

    I think some of my forums I run are small, so this would be pretty good for me. I am not too famillar with V2.. is such a thing available for V2?
