This is from a file i created and is loaded from the index.php
<?php
$ak_limit = 3; // change this to the number of active topics you want to display.
$result = $db->query('
SELECT t.*
FROM '.$db->prefix.'topics AS t
INNER JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forums AS f
ON f.id=t.forum_id
LEFT JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forum_perms AS fp
ON (
fp.forum_id=f.id
AND fp.group_id='.$pun_user['g_id'].'
)
WHERE (
fp.read_forum IS NULL
OR fp.read_forum=1
)
ORDER BY t.last_post DESC
LIMIT '.$ak_limit
) or error('Unable to fetch topic list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());
require PUN_ROOT.'lang/'.$pun_user['language'].'/forum.php';
