Latest 10 posts !

Anyone knows how to something so that I could check out the latest 10 posts in the Vbulletin forum and have a link to them automatically updated on the index page of my domain ?

Any generic ones ?

Anyone knows ?

Read this thread - it gives a different script that you can use to specify which forums that you want listed. The ones you dont want listed you just do not specify.

change this number if you want to change the number of topics displayed

$num_active = 10;

Hi Mental Stamina,

I am trying to do what you wrote but I am getting a message telling me I have a Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_VARIABLE' or `'$''
Do I have to change something at
$date1 = time() - $twentyfourhours * 1; ?
Thanks for any help!
