That's okay. I understand your reluctance to share, & understand that *these* hacks are designed for the full version only. It's not like I wanted to add any functionality to the board itself, though. Just was asking for a way to add something to my main page, which has nothing to do with VB.

The trick was figuring out which SQL query to use. I'm happy to say that I was able to muddle around for a few hours & do so on my own. Because I'm an open source kinda guy, here it is for anyone else that may be in my situation:

select * from thread WHERE 1=1 order by threadid DESC limit 5

By throwing this in a simple php script, I'm able to put a *simple* table on my front page showing the five most recent threads - without improving or changing the functionality of VBlite.

There you go. You can hack vblite.
