On October 21st (yeah, I took my time posting this thread
) I put up a "Latest Threads" RSS feed for the board. You can use it by adding the following URL to your favorite RSS reader...
http://shoutbox.menthix.net/backend.php?get=latestthreads
As with the RSS feature in current versions of MyBB, there are some query string parameters available...
limit : Number of threads to return; maximum 100
fid : Forum ID or comma-separated list of forum IDs to limit the results to certain forum(s)
uid : User ID or comma-separated list of user IDs to limit the results to threads started by certain user(s)
timeoffset : Number of hours difference from UTC to be used for times & dates in the thread description
Example: backend.php?get=latestthreads&limit=100&fid=18,13&timeoffset=-5
Eventually I'll make a page to generate the URL for you noobs who can't do it yourself.
