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

  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.

  I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

  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 .
