MOVED TO PROGRAMMING AND SCRIPTING

Just wondered if any people who manage forums could help me:

I have a website for a band i play in, and an external forum. I would like to know how i can get my website to display the latest topics and announcements from the forum - similar to 'Recent Forum Topics', or 'Popular Discussions' on the front page on www.linuxforums.org

I really like the way its done at the host site for the forum I'm a moderator of:

theska.co.uk

I can't get the link to the forum to work with and it hyperlinks it automatically as an incorrect url if i paste it as text, in fact it does this inside () and "[code]"as well.

I typed it below, with gaps so it displays correctly, and also pasted it without gaps so you can see what i mean:

http : // www . ska2 . com /forum /viewforum .php? f=33

http://www.ska2.comforum-33.html

EDIT: I have contacted the admin at the site that host my forum, but they are not much help!

Hi - You'd probably be best posting this in the 'Linux Programming & Scripting' forum on this site. It's probably a PHP question.

Hope the band goes well btw. Whereabouts in Norfolk are you? I used to visit Norwich and Wymondham a lot.

Thanks for that, i'll post it in Programming & Scripting and see if anyone can help.

I'm near King's Lynn BTW, and you can check the band out at www.rebelation.co.uk

Thanks
