vb.org Archive - View Single Post - (Assistance, plz?) Embedding Forum Posts to External Page

DPtheGod · #1 01-20-2009, 05:33 AM

Alright, so I've tried using RSS feeds and javascript, and none of it works. It's driving me crazy!

What I want to do is make it so my site's homepage can pull data from my forum and display it on the page.

For example, let's say I make a thread called "Win a free game!" And, the post in that thread says "Win a free game by buying it!" What I want to happen is on my home page, it will show that post.

I have tried vbAdvanced, and it did not work. I see plenty of sites doing this, and I want to do it to make it so my homepage receives less attention from my staff than the forum.

Anyone know how to do this? Or can you point me to a tutorial? I've looked to no avail.
