Retrieve the contents of a forum section

[jgweb2000]

I'm a bit new to how vbulletin's internals work, Instead of digging through forumdisplay.php and showthread.php I thought I could get a quicker answer asking here.

I need a simple way to retrieve the post contents in a news section of the forum, all of these threads are locked and I only need to retrieve the original post from each.

Thanks,
