hmm, kurafire has written an newsscript which can help you in the release forum.

or you can chage a few things in my own newsscript:

PHP Code:

require('./global.php');


  $news = $DB_site->query("SELECT thread.title, thread.threadid, thread.iconid, thread.postusername, thread.replycount FROM thread WHERE thread.forumid = 10 ORDER BY thread.threadid DESC LIMIT 5");
  print("<table width='95%' align='center' cellspacing=0>");
  while($new=$DB_site->fetch_array($news)) {
    $newstext=$DB_site->query_first("
    SELECT post.pagetext, post.dateline FROM post
    WHERE post.threadid='$new[threadid]'
    ORDER BY postid LIMIT 1
    "); 


this was the part where it gets the threads and the info of the first post of a thread. just change the forum id, and it should work .
perhaps you must edit a few more variables, but i don't say i'll be perfect, just a hint how to do it

here comes the design part

PHP Code:

  
    print("<tr>");
    print("<th class='head' align='left' bgcolor='#".$headcolor."'><font size=1>".date("d.m.Y - H:i:",$newstext[dateline])."</font><br>".$new[title]."</th>");
    print("<th class='head' align='right' bgcolor='#".$headcolor."'>".$new[postusername]."<br><font size=1><a href='http://www.strategy-forum.de/showthread.php?s=&threadid=".$new[threadid]."'>Kommentare(".$new[replycount].")</a></font></th></tr>");
    print("<tr></tr><tr><td class=news colspan='2' bgcolor='#".$newscolor."'>".bbcodeparse2($newstext[pagetext],1,1,1,1)."</td>");
    print("</tr><tr><td height=5></td></tr>");
  }
  print("</table>");
