Add this code in your phpinclude template:

PHP Code:

$latestposts=$DB_site->query("SELECT postid,LEFT(pagetext,20) AS text FROM post ORDER BY dateline DESC LIMIT 10");
while ($latestpost=$DB_site->fetch_array($latestposts)) {
  if ($marquee) {
    $marquee .= "  ";  // String to seperate between each link
  }
  $marquee .= "<a href=\"showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$latestpost[postid]\">$latestpost[text] ...</a>"; // Link and text for post
} 


Now you can use $marquee in your marquee tag for the content.
This will only select the first 20 characters of the post, and add ... after it (with a link to the post).
