I wish to display threads on my website from a spasific part of my forum catagory list.

I basically want my site to grab threads from my forum in the Announcements & Information forum which will be displayed on my site, like CutePHP/CuteNews but using my forum.

So when I post a thread in a spesified forum, it displays the thread title and x amount of "post text" after it on my main site so its easier to post updates for my site

If anyone has any clue on how I do this, then please post.
I know its possible because i've seen it on sites before.

Thankyou for any help
Dan!

If you are going to put it in an html page, then you may be stuck using javascript to do it. Here are a couple of threads using javascript to do it:
[HowTo] Display your latest threads on an external page using an RSS2 feed (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=159044)
[HowTo] Display your latest threads on an external page using an XML feed (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=158934)
[HowTo] Display your latest threads on an external page using an RSS feed (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=158916)

If you don't mind using php to do it, then there is an article about grabbing the latest threads on a non-vb page and there are also several mods with the queries in them to grab the lastest threads and you can use those queries in your page (that is, if you don't want to write the query yourself).

Im more than happy to use PHP to do this as i code in (X)HTML, CSS, PHP and abit of Javascript.
Would it be possible to link me to the article, or what do you advise I search?

Doing a quick search on "latest*" in "articles" *titles only" gives me this - Create "Latest Threads" Custom Page (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=108725&highlight=latest%2A)
And like I said, there are also a ton of mods to do this and you can grab the query from them also.
