!!! IMPORTANT !!!

Be extremely carefull with such scripts. In fact, such stuff has been made in the past (Plus!3) and the forum admins did not liked it since it creates more overhead with that constant polling of threads.


Rather make a script which checks your email for new forum notification mails. Benefits:
- you don't need to login to the forum
- the forum will not detect another 'guest'
- you can also see updates in threads which guest have no access to
- the forum isn't bombarded with requests (which WILL happen when people use such a script)
- you have all the info you need in the email already: new post id (which you will NOT have when you simply poll threads as more posts may have posted before your script detects them), the name of the poster, the thread topic, etc...


Again, please don't make a script which directly polls threads (untill further notice of an admin).
