How to Make threads show first paragraph and first photo???

[justwordme]

I'm looking for a way to make all or my most recent X posts to appear like the "recent news" in Xenporta basically instead of just thread title.....having the title and first paragraph or so plus first photo displaying before having to click and open each thread

That can't be done with a simple template modification. It requires an addon to fetch the data.
