MyBB Community Forums

I've been searching the forum for a few days. It was time to register and ask a question. I'm looking for how to add topics/posts from my forums to my main site. I know there are ones that will list the topics/post names. What i want is so it will show x amount of posts from any of the forums i choose and then show the author, x amount of characters from the post/topic and a link to reply or read more. Is that possible?

Looks like your looking for some custom code if I understand correct.

Are you talking about your main page being the portal? .portal.php?

Yea something like the portal but I want it in my mainsite with the template ill he using.
