It will require file hacking (*waits for filburt to make a phpinfo mod ;)*) and is standared in verson 3.

Actually that would be a really neat mod for a template mod. I'll do a phpinclude one this time. Never done one before. ;)

Just a side note:

This will add tons of load time to index.php, id recomend just doing it via the forum description via some html.

vBulletin is not used at NeoWin, they now use Invision Board. Both bulletin boards can do the same, but I do believe either way will require hacking, unless you edit the templates each time you create a new forum to avoid hacking.

Querys each forum, so if you have 15 forums on index.php your adding 15+ queries depending on how many sub forums display.
