List new posts in last few hours

[nvn]

How do you list threads having new posts within the last x hours, where say 1 h ≤ x ≤ 6 h, which people who are not logged in can use?

VB has a clickable option in the admincp for that but I can't remember if one can specify the time period.

I believe "recent" post in general are include i.e last 10 threads responded to.

I don't know how useful it would be though; for me I know it won't be very useful since I can manually go through sections that interest me.

It is more likely than not that the threads that show up might not interest you.

Can't you just use "today's posts" and stop reading down the list at a certain point?

cristo: Yes. But I forgot to mention, I wanted to be able to list the threads with new posts for a couple of forum areas, such as Physics and Mathematics only. I tried to do this using the PF Search feature, but I think it forces you to enter a search keyword; otherwise, it won't run. In this case, we don't want a search keyword.
