You can see more news without so much scrolling. It's all about giving them more info to see without scrolling a three page front page.

 
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 13px; WIDTH: 100%">
<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$news[threadid]"> <img style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 4px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 8px" height=60 alt="" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/$news[forumid].jpg" width=80 align=left border=0></a>
<a class="contentLinkMediumBold" href="$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$news[threadid]">$news[title]</a> <br />

<span style="COLOR: #000000">$news[message]
<span class="time">&nbsp;&nbsp;($dateposted)</span></span>
<span class="spacer6"><br /></span></div>

thats interesting on what you did, but how did you know what the forum number is when making the news post?
