i actually found this on a site a couple hours ago

<?
#database info, or include a config.php file
$db_host = 'localhost'; #change to your host
$db_user = 'username'; #change to your user name
$db_password = 'password'; #change to your password
$db_name = 'database_name'; #change to your db name

mysql_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_password) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($db_name) or die(mysql_error());

/* to keep a forum secret (i.e. a mods only forum) find, AND t.forum_id != 6, and change 6 to the forums id (according to your database)
to select a specific forum (i.e. news forum), find AND t.forum_id != 6, and change it to t.forum_id = *the forums id* */
$result = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT t.topic_id, t.topic_title, t.topic_poster, t.topic_first_post_id, t.forum_id, t.topic_replies, u.user_id, u.username, s.post_id, s.post_text

WHERE p.topic_id = t.topic_id AND t.topic_poster = u.user_id AND t.topic_first_post_id = s.post_id AND t.forum_id != 6 AND u.user_id != -1
ORDER BY p.post_time desc LIMIT 10");

/* this function is used to limit the amount of text displayed, as well as replace any bbcode.

function text($text, $limit){
    $text = str_replace("\n", "<br>", $text);
    $text = preg_replace("#\[(.*?)\].*?\[/(.*?)\]#si", "<i>[bbcode]</i>", $text);
    if(strlen($text)>$limit){
        $text = substr($text, 0, $limit);
        $text = substr($text, 0, -(strlen(strrchr($text, ' '))))."...";
    }
    return $text;
}

while($r=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
/* change 100, to the number of characters you want to show
you only need the following line if you kept the above function */
$text = text($r['post_text'], 100);

/* to change the display, edit this
also change both the <a> tags to the correct path to your forums, leave the part after /forum/ the same */
echo "<a href=/forum/viewtopic.php?t=".$r['topic_id']." target=_blank>".$r['topic_title']."</a><br>

}

If you need any help with that code, it actually came from my site
http://forum.decepti...ewforum.php?f=8 <-- support forum (no registration needed).
As you could tell simply by looking at that page, theres quite a few errors i need to work out with that.
