Is there a feature, or likely to be one in the near future, where a "Latest from the forums" snippet (title of post and brief description) could be shown on another page, home page for example...?

I guess I'm not explaining myself well (again!)

Check this site out You must be logged in to see this link. to see what I mean...

Cheers

Check out syndication

(Easy) You must be logged in to see this link.

(Hard) If you know a programming language you could parse either of the rss feeds.

Cheers Padraic,

That's just what I wanted...

2 questions though:

1. I've stuck the javascript in a table but in order to see all the fields I've requested the BG has to be white, is there a way to alter the font colours for forum title for example...?
2. Would be nice to include a summary below the title of the post. Is this possible?

Otherwise very cool feature.

Cheers

1. I see you managed to fix it.
2. Javascript Syndication is meant to be simple. For more advanced features like you need, you would need to parse either of the rss feeds. One of the easiest ways to do this is with Flash but it might nt be too easy to customise

What kind of hosting do you have? There might be other possibilities.
I have to say, nice job on the forum & website.

Thanx for the kind words Padraic! The hosting was purchased by the label, to honest haven't really checked out the features, but would guess they're pretty basic, think the host is ICUK ??? Pretty happy with it [the site and forum] so far but will check those links and see whats what.

Thanks again ForumCo rocks! :)
