Hi all,

I want to display the 3 latest vBulletin forum threads (from all forums combined) on my site's homepage footer area either via the JavaScript method, RSS or a combination of XML and PHP. Which would be the cleanest solution and what code would I need to achieve this?

Layout would be:

<h3><a href="*linktothread*">*Thread Name*</a></h3>
<p><span class="date">*Thread Post Date*</span> by *Thread Author Name*</p>

The external data provider is already turned on for all 3 options (javascript, RSS and XML).

Thanks in advance,
Phil

Is OK, I've found this solution that seems to work nicely...
