Hi,

I have the following problem :

I need to extract the most active or latest topic from a forum with the following info: the topic name, date edited and name of topic creator.

I need his information to show in a container in my home page as a link to the forum topic.

Is this possible from DNN? or should I just get the info from my DB?

I don't think this is really possible right now within the Forum module itself, but you could write a quick custom module that would do this, most likely by hitting the DB though you might be able to get that info from the forum API as well
