I am using the ssi function recent topics and I don't know what to put in the (exlude board=null) and (include board=null)
If I leave them as null recent topics of all boards come up. What do I need to put in place of null.

Depends on what you want, do you want to exclude some boards or you just want to include some boards?

Thanks Suki,
that turned out to be pretty obvious. I got that to work, but after validating my website I had to declare a doctype to get my layout to work on all browsers.
After doing that, my recent topics don't post on my website anymore. I've tried a lot of different doctypes but none of them work unless I take it out completely.
Any ideas? This is the code I have at the beginning.

What is the error you're getting?

SSI functions should provide valid xhtml

I'm not getting any errors. when i validate my only errors are in the code for the facebook like button which i copied directly from facebook so i left it.
but the recent posts still doesn't post.

Here it is. The thing i just realized is the welcome function works and comes up on the page every time.

I figured it out. Thank you for your help.
Just changed <p id="forum"> to <div class="forum>
and it works.
