Displaying newest topics on a non-vb page!!!

[Xyphen]

Hello,
I know by looking at the subject you'll say that hack has been made already, but what I am looking for is, a hack, that takes out the latest topics in a Certain forum category.. Get what I am saying? Don't? Ok.. maybe this will help..

I need something that will display the latest announcements of my forums, on a non-vb page.

Example
>> Super Mods and new admins...

That should be as cuztomizeable as possible, you can do whatever is possible, add arrow image to the title move date, and stuff around and all that.

Basically what I am saying is it should be like this:

Example
>> $newstitle...
$newsdate $newstime
Posted By: $newsby

All on a non-vb page, and it shouldn't be from all the catgories, just one selected one.. Please help??

Also I requested another hack which was never done..

Ok this might be complicated to explain. What I am looking for is someone to make something like this..

If any ADMINs online then Display livehelponline.gif on a non-vb page
If no admins online then display livehelpoffline.gif on a non-vb page.

What this will do is, help my hosted members to get support easily, they will know if they can get fast help if livehelponline.gif is being displayed, you get what I am trying to say?

I work at a hosting company, and want this feature real bad so there is more satisfaction for the members/visitors.
