How to show last updated topics

Hi,

I have several categories with several boards each. Now I want to have a new category with a new board "Newest Posts" in which I want to show last 10 or 20 updated topics overall boards.

Anyone that can tell me how to do this?

Thanks

Can't think of a way to do that without custom coding something, and it could potentially be pretty heavy for the server.
There is a built in function to show the latest posts though, https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=recent

To clarify - any time someone posts, a copy is posted in this new board? 
Address the process rather than the outcome.  Then, the outcome becomes more likely.   - Fripp

As I understood this, the request is for a "board" that shows X number of latest active topics from all the other boards, sorted by last reply.

why not just use the recent topics mod.... or ssi_RecentTopics();

then STYLE the block to look like a category heading...
