How would I display vBulletin threads

Question

I am wondering how I'd display threads on my website from my forums. For instance, inside a div on my website, I'd want to display "the latest 5 threads" or whatever. My forum is on a separate website, etc.

Thanks.

You can use the "external data provider" ("yourforum.com/external.php").

See this and that links for documentation and configuration.

For instance, you can get a single forum activity with : (for forum id 17)

external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=17

Then you need to parse the RSS feed to print it properly into you web site.
