Come on, jojo. You know that he isn't getting paid for it or anything else. It'll get released when he has time.

i don't know if this is possible but what about adding the last X (or posted in the last X days) threads into this script from a certain section of your forum, which the user could choice (for example i would choose to display important announcemnts)

Any chance of linking in a BFC Weblog style news system outside vB?
(BFC Weblog is a pain to setup )

what about doing a version of the hack with php/javascript so that any site (any site in the world) can add the code.

That's a good idea. Also, I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but if you could make it so polls could be used externally from the forum ...

Hmm Vbportal seems close enough. I think I'm going to give it a try and see what happens.

What exactly can we do with this hack? I'm not quite sure I understand the basics (I'm a newbie to PHP). From what I can gather, we'll be able to pull stuff like current posts and plug it into a page outsite of vBulletin. Is that the gist of it?

Yes, that's the basic gist of it. This script should allow us to easily put vb items (newest member, newest post, username, etc.) on non-vb pages with ease. It sounds like he's making a very easy to use template system, so you'll only have to reference (include) one file.

I want it

As do we all.
