// V2.1: 10 April 2005..................... //
// **************************************** //
// This mod will pull the latest X posts from your forum and display them on your website.
// This new version will also handle forums that you do not wish to show (excluded forums)
// Put this file where your FORUMS are located (e.g, http://domain.tld/forum).
// This should be in the same path as your conf_global.php file
// I've commented most of the code so that it's fairly understandable, however,
// if you're unsure of what's going on here, stick to the comments on where to edit this file for your site.
// For this to work properly, copy the following code into your website. Change it to match the link to THIS file.
/* <?php include("http://domain.tld/forum/latest_posts.php");?> */

// Only useful if the above varaible is set to 1.
