PHP & MySQL will do the trick...

Something like this for the SQL:
SELECT threadid, title FROM TABLE-PREFIX_thread WHERE `visible`=1 ORDER BY threadid DESC LIMIT 10

Notes:

TABLE-PREFIX_ = the table prefix you use on your forums, if any...
Never do something like SELECT * FROM if you dont need everything from that row...
Use visible=1 to show only threads which have not been deleted...
Change the 10 in LIMIT 10 to change the number of rows selected...


The rest which would be in PHP should en easy enough...

I found VBExternal (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=81943), but im trying to figure out why im getting the error that i am getting

What's the error?

@sR Craig: Your SQL will not take into account permissions - so it will show threads from private forums as well.

Is there a way of getting the latest threads onto a Joomla 1.5 frontpage at all?

Thanks !

I believe Joomla has an RSS parser, you can just use vBulletin's RSS feed.
