Topic: Punbb homepage?

I was just wondering if there is a mod available that adds a hompage like the one on this website.  In otherwords, could i create a forum for news that would pull the first post of the forum and put it on the front page of the website?  Better yet, the have an attached poll?  That would be great!

On this website, I use the news generator plugin. It's available on the downloads page.

Thanks alot.  looks like a great addition.  How do you format it to looks so good?  Do you do an include statement or something, or did you modify the script alot?  Thanks.

I simply include the output from the news generator plugin at the right place with a PHP include and then style it with the stylesheets.

Yes, whenever I post a new item in the news forum, I regenerate the news.
