Hey everyone,

I would like to make a custom landing page layout for the forum which displays the categories as boxes with the subcategories and the latest topics from that category in the same style as the latest topics section with the avatar image of the last poster

I would like to know if it’s possible to achieve this with any ready made theme components rather than having to make it myself

Here is a photoshop mockup of just one category
