Look at the bottom of this page?

The best I've been able to do is this:

Must of took a while. I suppose they added a few SQL, and got the comments from a hidden forum, then displayed them as comments.

You have the right idea, you just need to pass the info from the database into vB's post sorting functions. I'm about to go to sleep but ill mark this thread so I can reply to it tomorrow.

In the mean time you should tell us exactly what you want to do and what you fell your attempt lacks, it will be easier to help you get what you want.

Well I'm looking to do exactly what this site has done. Allow the forums to act as an articles commenting system. Right now I'm doing that. But I'm using a webquery from the webtemplates. It's kind of limited in it's output. Plus I have to start the thread, create a new webquery for every thread, ect. It's all done by hand and is very time consuming. It looks as though these people may have developed a couple vb forums into article publishing categories. Where the article gets posted to the forum and then shows up reformated on the site like that. First post being the article and the rest being the comments. I could be way wrong on that though.

Interesting Idea.

They're just pulling the posts from a hidden forum.

They need to lighten up on the advertising a little. :ermm:

Great can any PHP savy folks tell me how to do this? Right now I run a vb 2.6 but I'm willing to upgrade to 3.0 if I can do things like this with it.

No see what the site above is doing is a hack of the board. I don't want to spend $100 for an addition. Thanks for the link anyway.
