Something I forgot to mention about this.

While the "From The Forums" box only includes the plain text of the posts, the news posts use a different part of the feed that includes their full HTML (translated from forum code). So fonts, colors, and even smilies and other images will show up just as they do in the forums. So, for example, if you want to link to something, do it using [url] tags, just as you would in a normal forum post.
