I don't know if this exists already but a nice way to welcome new members is to have a block listing x-number of latest people who joined. That'll encourage people to say hello, etc.
It'd be ultra modern if it had a thumbnail of their display pic lilke the User Block has, and customise it either by "last x-number to join" or "joined in the last week/month".
We already have "The newest registered user is X" on the who's online block. Could we expand that into a block of its own listing the last 3, 5 or 10 people to join and maybe hav the list scroll...
I'd give it a go but would it be difficult to do? I've never made a block before <img>
Much appreciated.
