Hi everyone,

I've been playing a bit with NAML, but truth is I'm not very good handling code.

I have a regular forum and I love the option when you see the first lines of each topic (if you change your application to "new" or "category" you can see it). With this preview you can understand what the topic is about without opening it.

I like how "news" looks like, but answering to a topic doesn't make the topic go up in the list (logical, because the "news" type is to create a news paper.
I like how "category" looks like (you have a preview of each topic) and when you answer to a topic, it goes up in the list.

But with "category" you don't have the "new topic" button and you can't limit the number of topic per page (if you apply "category" to a subforum with 50 topics, they all appear in on page. Also, with "category" you can't see who created a topic.

So, is there a way to have "category" with this modifications?
- Button "new topic"
- Name of the person that created each topic
- Limit the number of topics per page

If anyone can help, that'd be great
Thanks!
Jose
