All you have to do is find on your index page what the var name they use to display the latest post in a certain forum. Then edit your main index page and use that var or something like that.

Not quite sure, kinda out of it right now.

what forum do you use, because if its ipb, it should be pretty simple. but if u tell me, i should be able to write you a code.

Well in order to display posts from a forum you can do it in two ways one is the ipb mod for displaying topics http://mods.invisionize.com/db/index.php/f/7285 or you set up a RSS feed and then use a javascript such as this one http://itde.vccs.edu/rss2js/build.php and display the posts like this http://saint-michael.trap17.com/.
