Is there a way to show Active Discussion topics on the log-in page? Maybe just below the login. It would function as sort of a preview of interesting topics to encourage new member registration.

Well most of the controls in yaf are work only inside of yaf, however if you understand the yaf code you could easily make this control work outside of yaf. I already did this for the DNN Module maybe i should include the YAF WhatsNew Control in to my YAF.SampleWebApplication
