To limit the number of Posts apeend this to url

Duly bookmarked. Been looking for that... but....
1) Why the two different feeds, one for FF and one for a reader?
2) Is there a way to get one that has the similar results as the "New Posts" link in the "Quick Links" menu? One that would give, the last, say 20-50 posts with a reply?

1. FireFox one simply lists all the threads to a given forum. Where as the 2nd one has the avility to read posts(first page only) from those threads.

2. Yes I have tried to create a feed for "New Posts". If you notice in the "Quick Links"/"New Posts" menu in VBF the link is defined as "search.php?do=getnew", now if i click on it directly it works fine, but when call this page from code, it returns me "No reslut found". Otherwise it wont be hard to create a feed for New Posts.

If anyone finds any way to read those links then let me know.

BTW: How did you find this thread? I just posted it and was gonna PM interested user from your earlier thread.

Thanks for your suggestion and query.

I use that New Post link heavily, and happened to be scrolling through and saw it. I had also seen your other thread regarding this, and so I was on the look out for it. When I get some time tonight, I'll see about hooking it up into my reader (I use SharpReader) and give you feedback on how it worked.

I think the reason initialy you got no posts, is because it uses a cookie on the PC to determine your last visit time, and returns posts since that time. But I imagine it should be possible to pull the last 50 posts period, regardless of the last post or visit date.

I'll give them a shot when I get home.

I have two version, VBScript/ASP and VB6 version, in VB6 i am using winsock, for some reason it returns nothing, so I assumed asp version will have the same problem, but thankfully asp version works perfectly.

Cheers for your feedback and looking forward to hear more from you.

Thanks.
