Anyone have any idea how I would go about getting informed on when people reply to post that I have posted too, or started a thread? I would like to make something that notify the user in game when there is a new post in a thread they have posted to. An RSS feed would be ideal.

Shame this forum doesnt support RSS feeds. Would be pretty easy then.

You can subscribe to a thread so that you get emailed on each new post, the option is in Thread Tools.

vBulletin does support RSS...

http://www.lfsforum.net/extern ... ?type=rss1&forumids=9
http://www.lfsforum.net/extern ... ?type=rss2&forumids=9

The URLS to access these feeds are:
XML - www.yourdomain.com/forumpath/external.php?type=xml
RSS - www.yourdomain.com/forumpath/external.php?type=rss
RSS 1.0 - www.yourdomain.com/forumpath/external.php?type=rss1
RSS 2.0 - www.yourdomain.com/forumpath/external.php?type=rss2

You can refine the listings by specifying forumids in the path. For multiple forums separate them with a comma. This will limit the feed to the specified forums only. (Below example uses xml as type, but it works with rss, rss2, and js too)
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum ... =xml&forumids=1,2,3,4

Threads will be returned in descending order based on the date of their creation. Description information will be returned from the first post of the thread.

If &lastpost=1 is added to the feed URL, threads will be returned in descending order based on the date of the last post of the thread. Description information will be returned from the last post of the thread.

Oh, Well, you learn something new every day

Indeed.

There's an easier way.

Go to your User Control Panel (User CP), then select Edit Options > Messaging & Notification > Default Thread Subscription Mode and choose no email notification option there > finally save your new settings. After this you'll get subscribed to every thread you'll post in. When anybody will post into your subscribed thread it will appear in your New Subscribed Threads list, which is in your main User Control Panel page.

That's a pretty cool feature, browsing forums without this would be a lot more complicated, at least to me

I use the User CP too, but when I saw the RSS feeds, I thought maybe it would tell you even if you weren't on the forums...still, I like the ones that are there
