I know there is something out there to do this but what I am looking for is one that is specific to a forum, but can be controlled per thread. Maybe a check box when starting a thread that makes it post to an external page (html).

Pretty much what I am looking to do change my news section from me having to edit the HTML page each time there is different news. But I do not want to create a specific forum for the news section as then when a person clicks on the link on the home page, it would take them to the news forum instead of the appropriate forum the thread should be located. I hope I am explaining this enough for someone to get what I mean.

vbadvanced can do that. you make a module and fill it with whatever threads you like.

I want to use my html designed page I already have. I just want a section of it to be like I said above. I already have one section that pulls threads from a certain forum on my home page. www.PennMustangs.com is my domain. The PennMustangs News section is the one I want to have what I was talking about above. The Ford News section automatically updates from the forums Ford News forum.

How about I create a file and that file I can add the title of what I want it to say and the link I want it to go to? How would I make the info from that file show on the HTML page but link to the vb thread I point to?

I created a page for my site - The Lounge Hall of Shame/Fame. It's just a list of 'famous' threads in our Lounge. I manually add the threadid to the php page and it just spits out the list of thread titles, thread starter, thread date, and it links to the thread. Is that what you are wanting?

Below is what I want...

www.PennMustangs.com under PennMustangs News, I want that info to pull off of a file created. The Ford News section pulls thread titles from a certain forum I specified. However the PM News will be from multiple forums. So I either need an option when posting a new thread to click that will make it appear on the HTML static page or I though if there was a file, say called PMNews.php (or whatever file extension) all I would do is edit that file and it would show the news titles and be linked to the forums. I hope I am making sense. That file would be kind of a HTML type with the inside saying,

Code:

<a href="http://pennmustangs.com/forums/xxxxx">Latest News</a>

. Maybe that will help explain this better.

It's just a query to pull the thread title from the thread id. What have you written so far? And what is the result on your page so far?
