I have my board up and running but I also have a welcome page running. The welcome page on my site is what visitors who come to my site see when they first click on my main site address.

On this welcome page I have created, is there a way to have that page display something like the last 5 messages which have been posted over on my vbulletin board on this introduction page as a highlight to my main board?

Ideally, It would be great if when a visitor to my site clicked on one of these 5 highlighted messages the message would take them to my vbulletin board and to the message thread where that highlighted message was located. Can this be done?

Does anyone here have a board or site where you've been able to create something like this? Thanks for any advice you can give me on this one.

PS: I tried to put this request into the requested hacks area but it said "you do not have permission to access this page"... is this an error, or are only certain people allowed to start a request thread over there? Thanks.

Just following up on some of my old threads for those of you who may have had a similar question and subscribed to the thread hoping for answers.....

To get automatically updating/new messages on a welcome page check out the cool pluhnews hack here at vB.org

Go Here to get the hack.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
