vb.org Archive - View Single Post - How difficult would it be .. (First Post on Threadbit)

How difficult would it be to pull the first post of a thread (with bbcode formating) and put it on forumdisplay (threadbit template to be exact). I'm looking to duplicate it for my news page, and $threadpreview works for a really cheapo way of doing it - but I would like to do it in a much better way .. any ideas? It'd be a huge help.

If anyone is actually interested, and wants more info .. this is the page (http://www.absolutepunk.net/newsdisp...p?f=165&page=1) and as you can see it's duplicating my main page's news (www.absolutepunk.net) - and I am going to use this version (the newsdisplay.php) as a news archive with ajax buttons at the bottom to scroll through news posts.
