How to make first 1 - 3 new topics to have excerpts?

I don't know if this is what you want. but if you download the

http://vanillaforums.org/addon/discussionexcerpt2-plugin

and replace the lines around line 43 from

 public function DiscussionsController_AfterDiscussionTitle_Handler(&$Sender) {

to


 public function DiscussionsController_AfterDiscussionTitle_Handler($Sender) {  

       static $discussionNumber=0;
       $discussionNumber++;

       if ($discussionNumber > 3) return;

in the default.php - it will present excepts only for the first 3 topics.

BTW. you never responded if you solved the welcome! translation.

Check out the timely theme, it does that for all the discussions on the front page.
You will have to limit to 3.

That worket in timely hooks . I jus insert static $discussionNumber=0; $discussionNumber++; if ($discussionNumber > 3) return; after $Discussion = GetValue('Discussion', $Sender->EventArguments);.
Next thing is to figure out how to remove links (youtube etc) from exerpts, or display message like "includes video" or something like that.

No, didn´t managet to translate that Welcome message, but its not big deal, it shows only in activities .
