Hello everyone,
I thank you for taking the time to check out my post, this is an important question - It has been bugging me for days and I have been trying to sort a resolution to it.

I am looking for a Latest Threads thing, which I can put on my website (which is a non-vb page) where it will get the latest 5 forum threads (a vb forum) and display them on the page.

I have found a modification or two on here however they dont automatically update - which means you need to put a reload php code into the page where even if using as an include reloads the whole page - I dont want to do that I just want to have the section on my websites front page where if a new forum topic is posted/ or a reply or something it automatically updates it in the Latest Forum Threads section on my nonvb page.

Can this be done, Can you help me? Please I would really like to get this to work so it will improve stats on my site - rather than the whole page having to be reloaded. If possible I would also like a solution that is easy to modify (eg: What forums if you want to be specific, along with the style so I can help make it suit the website layout)

Please any help would be greatfully appreciated.

From my understanding that only works on forum home - however I want this stuff to be on a non VB page.

thanks to everyone for your help,
Although I got it to work no matter what I did they still came up messy so I may just abandon the idea. Thanks for your help anyway

I do it with RSS feeds and then cache the results to update every 5 minutes or so.
