This is a simple template mod, so technically it isn't a hack. I released this on vBorg a few days ago and thought I'd put it here.

It uses a free service to generate the feed code, so no php coding or sql queries are necessary.
Generate and customize the code for the feed(s) you want using RSS Digest (http://www.bigbold.com/rssdigest/) .
Open your forumhome template. Find:
$navbar
and
<!-- main -->
and insert in between:
<!-- newsfeeds -->
<table cellpadding="{tableouterborderwidth}" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder" {tableouterextra} width="100%" align="center"><tr><td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0" {tableinnerextra} width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>"Title for your NewsFeed"</b></smallfont></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1"><normalfont><center><b>"insert generated code here"</center></b></normalfont></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr></table>
<!-- /newsfeeds -->
Change the title for your feed and insert the code you generated at RSS Digest where indicated. You can easily insert a feed to virtually any template this way and customize it to fit your forums. At http://hfboards.com the feed is below "Latest news from Hockey's Future".
It should work with any version of vB. RSS Digest currently only supports single source feeds, however their new version due to be released this month will support multiple feeds.
