I just added Wild Thinks query/last ten threads and modified it abit. Works nice. However, I'm interested in this "new version" that parses vbcode. Right now it shows the [ quote ] tags and such if they are at the beginning of the post.

The new version is in progress.. In fact I sent them to some power users so that they can return me comments and it's proved to be working ok. But I cant guarantee it has no bugs at the moment and I cant support it until I release it. So if this is not a problem for you and want to test it out, drop me your mail address and I'll send it to you. If you want to have the "stable" and "final" version, you have to wait until it's released..

edited to add - Is there anyway to NOT show posts in private forums on the site's "last ten posts"?

Sure you have to modify Wildthinks query a bit: Replace XXX, YYY and ZZZ with forumids in the query below to exclude these forums:

SELECT thread.title as threadname, thread.threadid, thread.forumid, from_unixtime(post.dateline,'%d.%m.%Y - %H:%i:%s') as dd, left(post.pagetext,80) as pagetxt, post.username, post.userid, forum.forumid, forum.title FROM thread,post,forum where post.threadid=thread.threadid and thread.forumid=forum.forumid and thread.forumid<>XXX and thread.forumid<>YYY and thread.forumid<>ZZZ order by post.dateline desc limit 10

Also, on my site I have the "Welcome back, Username" here. For unregistered members/guests - how would I include a login panel for them?

You can use a "conditional" like this:
[[($bbusergroupid==1)]]
Copy paste the login form's HTML code here.
[[/($bbusergroupid==1)]]

It's like the hidden text in my sample webtemplate. If the user is unregistered/unloggedin, this conditional will be parsed and he'll get the code in between. If he is a loggedin member, he wont see that part in the webtemplate..
