A PHP include would be the best way to do it:
<? print file_get_contents(" http://www.yoursite.com.com/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?v-shownews/b-news_board/"); ?>
...note: the part in bold is the board that you want to show as news.

You'd need to make sure that your page has .php for the extension.

Or you could include the news feature using Ajax. This script would work superbly. It'll take the styles from your page too.

hey that worked awsome, thanks alot!! just one thing, i have a banner on top of my forum, but when you click on a link from a newsfeed on my homepage, the banner does not display on the forum. it displays fine when you go straight to the forum though. my homepage and forum url are in my siggy.

i also noticed an extra blah.pl in the url when redirecting from the newsfeed? is that a bug?
