uie forum and Views

hi all
Have just installed the UIE forum, and can I say, it kicks ass. Really good, such an upgrade of the normal forums.

One feature I would like to find out (this may have already been covered but I cant find it anywhere, so apologises if it is) is to change the Block view avaliable for the forums.

At the moment I have a block I can add anywhere else on the site that displays only the titles from recent posts.

What I would like to have is a full page view that displays the latest started threads, so it shows the full thread blog-style. Would love to have it display the full first post for any thread, and maybe show the number of replies it already has.

I can do this with the normal Drupal forum by using views, having a filter for a content type and then displaying content by creation date, but as UIE doesnt use the same content managment as normal Drupal I dont know how to access it.

If anyone could be off help, then Id really be apriciated. Thanks guys
