What you're seeing there became with vbNews, but can easily be done with the free vbJournal. All it needs is a bit imagination and some template modifications.

Also dont forget that vbJournal is Free, while the others are commercial mods. Tell me what exactly you want to do and I'll give you the right direction. Also the time frame that you want to finish it. vbJournal maybe isn't now a full features mod, but soon I'll add ti it more features.

MicroHellas, thanks for your reply. I am fully aware that vbNews and vbArticles are commercial add-ons. Actually I am evaluating a good articles management system for my Urdu forum. I really like the way vbNews present lead articles, feature articles and links to different categories. Ideally I would have liked the article system to pull its content from designated forum posts, i.e. any post marked as news. Also I would like to put more control in the hands of the moderators, i.e. I would like moderators with the right permissions to decide which news goes into the lead position and which becomes a feature articles. I am not under any pressure to finish it soon. That is why I am first doing research on article management add-ons for vBulletin.
