Last Post in Info Center Options

[Wormopolis]

Browsers Tested: IE and FF
placement: main footer (before any info center remodel)

This will let you replace the last post data in the info center with

nothing
whatever text you want
the last post from a specific board always
the newest post it finds from all the last post cells

you can also choose to do this only when the last post is from a board you dont want to show up there, such as an advertising board.
