Recent Posts Organized

[Wormopolis]

Browser Tested: IE and FF
placement: top of Main Footer

re-organizes the recent posts view so that all the posts that are part of the same thread are next to each other. divides into different boards, then different threads in those boards. Variables change gap width between different boards, and if you want posts in ascending or descending order.
