You're Very Welcome. Steve gave you the best answer there is. Go post over at http://vbulletin.org

Believe it or not you'll probably get a faster reply over there.

I'll help you out.

There are many options to choose from.

I have found that the best portal system that will integrate with vbulletin is vBHome (lite) which you can find here.

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt...threadid=36756

What you should do is install that hack, and if you only want the latest threads on a non-vb page, then strip out all the coding that you don't need.

There are other portal systems such as vBportal, vbindex, etc.. I have found that the vBHome Lite portal is the easiest to install, easiest to customize, and the codest the best (gives the least amount of queries).

Now, if you don't want to install a portal, there is a hack that will allow you to only show the latest threads on a non-vB page. That hack can be located here.

You can see that hack in action on a beta page I have set up

www.fusionarena.com/newindex.php

Though this hack is very hard to customize.

Hope that helps.

No one was being an "a$$", it's just discussions regarding hacking belong at www.vbulletin.org, not here

Sorry Ryan but that remark was uncalled for. It's been a long-standing policy to move all discussions concerning hacks to vbulletin.org. This will allow us more time to focus on providing direct support for true vB related problems and questions.

Im sorry, didnt mean to make it sound like I was being rude, I just took it as if he was being rude to me. I take it back, I guess I was in a bad mood...

[Steve Machol]

Yeah it didn't sound like you. Everyone gets is a bad mood from time to time.

While I agree that actual discussions and help regarding hacks shouldn't be discussed here, I don't think it hurts to point people in the right direction (ie link to a thread) if you know where the answer can be found. He obviously said he had a hard time finding an answer over there, so I just gave him links over there instead of answering his question here.

Thank you for your very stupid reply to Cary.
Cary told you to goto vBulletin.org - and therefor helped as should . If you are THAT inpatient, it is your problem. Be nice to other people here.
