You can put whatever you want in there, I would guess. If you just want to use rss to import the latest threads on your site, take a look at any of these to pull threads via javascript:

You'll have to look into the code. Its usually in the header or headinclude templates.

You should ask the style designer how to do that if you can't figure it out yourself.

Well when I don't know where something is (in which template), I usually highlight a whole bunch and then view selection source.
Go into Style templates and then search in templates. If theres nothing showing up, you narrow down your search.

For example: Forum News
Try searching that in your templates. If it returns headinclude, then try to look at the code and remove the boxes.

It should be something like:

<div class="sidebar_cat">Forum News</div>
<div class="sidebar_menu">News Item</div>

Prolly in your headinclude. Try it and lemme know!
