center forum block

In the nuke 6.9 with Raven's fixes I haven't found a suitable center block to display recent forum posts. I was using phpBB Forums, but it doesn't look very compatible. Any suggestions?

Do you like mine on this site? It's available in the downloads section.

Yes, that works great ... doesn't exactly translate over more than one theme though... but I'm coming to the conclusion I'm only going to do two themes on this new site... one for the old folks like me, quiet, light background, and one for the younger crowd... SpacePilot 3D.

Thanks again.

you can modify the block to accomodate your theme

Why have I never had this issue on 6.0 with port? Is there a conspiracy out there trying to make me use just one theme?

But I want two themes. <whining> dark text, light bg, and light text, dark bg. My users range in age from 18 to 80.

I've been playing with this for a bit and all I'm getting is flat color without cell borders.
Isn't there something that queries the user theme? if X is using X, use X center block? How come this isn't easier? What was it different in 6? Guess I'll have a look see...

ah ha...it's cell variables.

Code:

//From nuke 6.0 with Tom's port...block-phpbb_forums.php

global $prefix, $dbi, $sitename;

$HideViewReadOnly = 1; // When set to 1 then Forums permissions which View and/or Read are NOT set to 'ALL' will NOT be displayed in the center block
$Last_New_Topics = 10; // Show only 5 last new topics
$border = 2;
$bordercolor = "#cacaca";
$cellspacing = 1;
$bgcolor = "";

//snip

$content = "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"$border\" cellspacing=\"$cellspacing\" bordercolor=\"$bordercolor\" bgcolor=\"$bgcolor\">";

I must have got all got up installing theme blocks.
