    I have seen this all over the place (a little box with the last 5 posts from a forum on the home page or other non VB page)

    Does anyone know how to do this ?

    I've seen a hack for VB 2 but I have V 3 and that hack didn't work

    TA !

    Easiest way to do it is to grab the posts with the RSS feed that's built into vBulletin and parse the output.

    Of course, now why didn't I think of that <smacks head>

    But HOW is this done ? And can I add it to a static HTML page ?

    No, you couldn't do it on a static HTML page directly. Check hotscripts.com, I'm sure they have some RSS reading scripts in there already.
