I noticed? the BTHSNews main page - the articles on the right hand menu have 3 links each changing when a new article comes up with the last one rolling off.

I'd like to know exactly how this is done, for I own a website and the reason I'm not too keen on adding new information because of the lack of that.

I'm going to take a guess that it's done by PHP Includes? The news script in question displays 3 titles for articles and then displays the information.

In a way, this is very similiar to CuteNews. Can I get a link to this news system or something? Such a CMS - I've got to see what you guys use D=

I'm not familiar with the inner workings of the CMS used for the front page. AFaust3 and Charles would know. However, I can tell you that we use mambo: http://www.mamboserver.com/index.php?optio...1&Itemid=86

its done using php... when you get the data from the database you tell it to select the last 3 articles... its not hard... i don't remember the syntax though since i haven't done programming in a while

Ahh I see, that kills all the magic right there >_<; I see as Mambo would be a reasonable solution. However my site in question is a game fansite, so no workies there.

Endocrine, I realize that too - but I'm using a PHP system not using a database, so that's out of the question xD Maybe parsing it?
