Okay this is what is in my newsbits template..Exactly what would I take out in order just to show tht newest post from a forum and that's all? I'm afraid to just take things out without knowing what will screw it up and what won't...
<table background="forums/images/color/bg.gif" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

<tr>
<td valign="top" background="forums/images/mine/navbar_3.jpg"><table width="140" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top" background="forums/images/mine/navbar_3.jpg"><span class="smallfont">Soon to be Quotes. ...<br /><br />~ Unknown~<p /></span></td>
