The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

I recently upgraded to 3.5.4 and I was hoping someone could help me convert this 3.0.7 external.php hack to 3.5.4

I was using javascript to pull the info onto the front page of my site
The following hack would pull latest active forum threads in this format:
thread title (# of replies)
last poster name

Clicking the thread title would take you to the first post in the thread and the last poster name would take you to the last post

FWIW, someone else made this 3.0.7 hack for me.
Hopefully there is a way to add this as a hook.
I can share my javascript code for those who are interested in using this on their sites.

Code:

Anyone? Maybe a tip or two on what has changed in the external.php file from 3.0.8 to 3.5.4?
