Hi guys,

Is there a module for download that is craigslist style? Meaning users can post messages on the site and the topic title will show up in the block, similar to a forum but more of a "posting" like craigslist.

Any suggestions? TIA!

With the excellent views module (http://drupal.org/project/views) you can generate all sorts of blocks. For instance: a block with titles of nodes of a certain content type, ordered by post date. Is that what you're looking for?

To you, "something similar to Shoutbox only more like craigslist style" is probably a perfectly clear description of what you want. To me, it isn't. (I bet that in Europe, 99% of the people don't even know craigslist.) I don't even know if you're referring to functionality (what data is shown, how does it work, where does it link to) or styling (colors, fonts, positioning, sizing). Nevertheless, I think Views is probably the module you need, because it's powerful and flexible. Please give it a try and come back with more specific questions.
