Create a block reporting different forums recent posts?

Hey all,
I know you can do this via RSS, but I was wondering if there were a more elegant way.

So I have one site with forums, site2, and a main site, site1, and I want to display the recent posts on the forums in site2 as a recent posts block on site1. The two sites are part of the same database, just with different prefixes, so it seems to me that there would be a relatively easy way of doing it...
Thanks!

Gzipped output?

I am new to Druapl, and I would like to know:

Do Druapl support creating gzipped output to send out in the HTTP stream? How could I enable it and is there any precautions? Or is this already natively supported?

Many thanks!

Unified authentication across different sites?

Hey all,
So, say I have four sites, site1, site2, etc. They are all subdomains of the same domain (so site1.domain.com, site2.domain, etc.) Now, they all have different database prefixes but a shared user database (so registering at site1 allows you to also be registered at site2, etc.).

How to: "Allow individual users to customize the visibility of this block in their account settings."?

I read everywhere that individual users can customize the visibility of individual blocks in their account settings, but I cannot find this option in my Drupal site's user account settings page.
What am I missing? Do I have to enable something?

Thanks

Managing comments

Does anyone know of an easy way to convert a comment and any dependent comments to a new thread? Discussions sometimes get unwieldy, people set off in new directions, and it would be great to be able to prune branches and plant them elsewhere. I've done this directly by editing the database but it's a pain in the neck.
