Hi there,

Is there anyway to display forum topics in a block?

EG, i want to create a block and call it news, this block will list the two most recent forum topics with a read more button which if clicked will display all forum topics in the container of the site.

Is this possible??

You can enable and configure the default "Active forum topics"-block, that forum module provides.

i already know how to do this, but for example i have the following groups:

News:
Advise:
Skills Library:

Each of those groups needs to be in their own block and each time i post a forum to that group it needs to update the block.. understand?

You can also use Views.

Download and install the views module at http://drupal.org/project/views. It's a very powerful and flexible solution for presenting custom lists of content. Documentation and Tutorials can be found here: http://drupal.org/node/109604.
