Is it possible to get the parent forum from a thread ID ?
For example,
By seeing ID of this thread (Thread ID = 457322), can we say it is posted in Forum Feed back (Forum ID = 6) ?
Edit:
or any other way that doesn't need downloading whole page ?

Nope, there is no link between thread IDs and forums (thread IDs are sequential across the entire site).
Even if there was a link, you would only be able to tell where a thread was created, not where it currently is.
So, there is no other way ?
The rss feed gives only last few threads. So it is useless.
I'm planning to make a quick subscription maneger. (kinda like a rss reader)
So, to show the forum (group) if I need to download whole page (feed article), it is no good. :(
Well it is included in a field I would have to say as the NewPosts link does show the new threads and what forum they are in. Can you use that page?
No. :( The NewPost page will not work. It is not be able to show your old subscribed threads.
The subscription page doesn't show the forums,
and there is no way to search for your subscribed threads. :(
Isn't there any way to search the database with some options like
query=&searchuser=iprank&subscribedonly=true or something ?
What do you mean you cant search for your subscribed thread? Let me post yours....
iPrank Member Search
Search for all iPranks posts
Subscribed threads
New Posts
No..no..not like that.Quote:

For example I'm subscribed to this thread, but you'll not get it in search result.
This page doesn't show forums. :(Quote:
Correct because if you execute the link you get the SearchID which is a temporary id number and gets destroyed. You could execute the link in code each time the reader reads.
In post #5 you were asking about getting subscribed threads.:p
That just links to this thread. :confused:Quote:

Thanks Pena !
Not exactly what I want, but still it will reduce downloading if I download the page in chunks. The forum name is the first keywod.

Sorry, meant forum.
So you are going to link to all forums?
Sorry I don't understand. :confused:Quote:

Why the keywords (first keyword is forum name) mentioned in Post#12 is not available in some forums - like General Developer, API etc ?
In those forums, first keyword is thread title.
API:
