[quote user="dkoepke"] What needs to go in the viewed lists textbox, i tried putting just the name of our discussion board, but I get the error The following error occurs: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.

When all is said and done, you'll end up with XML in that text box. Like so:
You could type the XML in there, but it's easiest to use the Edit button (circled in Red).
This should give you a list of lists to choose from. Note: only discussion type currently supported. You could even in bring in data from another SharePoint site, or combine data from multiple sites.
I hope this helps.
