Forum content download

Hi Jimmy, you've been busy writing software for downloading forum content lately.
May I ask you something?
Do you think you could just make a software where you query all the "HARBOUR" relevant newsgroups and then always show the latest posts in a report?
You could then display this list always updated, for example here in FIVEWIN forum, and would then surely reach a wider audience.

I use a webpage with important links, but it is hard to follow all to see if there is news.

Best regards,
Otto

hi Otto,

the Idea is great but my phpBB-Forum Reader have a Problem

i do not know how to get "latest" Message (Date/Time)

i "just" use URL and "Counter" which start at -50 until +50 (can be change) of highest Thread No. like this :
https://forums.fivetechsupport.com/viewtopic.php?t=42817

but if somebody write a new Message in "old" Thread than i must know Thread No. to "re-read" that Thread
so once a Week i do a "full-scan", which can take long Time, to get "old" Message too
