forum:latestThreads

Returns a List of the most recently active threads in one or more forums. The list is sorted by the creation date of the most recent posting in each thread. This means that an old thread may be at the top of the list if a reply has been posted to it recently.

This tag is optimized for performance, at the risk of losing some accuracy. It is assumed that the list can be sorted by article id, rather than actual creation date. This greatly improves performance on a high-traffic site.
