RSS feed includes only new threads?

I've been switching lately to viewing more an more things using a feed reader (Google Reader, which I think is pretty good). However, I've noticed that TMS's only gives you new threads, when I would want to be able to see new posts (i.e., replies included).

Is there a different feed, or might this be changed? It's not very useful as-is.

Is this what you need?



Notice the extra "lastpost" parameter in the URL.

Yup, that did the trick, thanks!

Could you change the parameter that puts the following into the top forum page:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Top Mud Sites Forum RSS Feed" href="http://www.topmudsites.com/forums/external.php?type=RSS2" />
That's what Firefox uses to subscribe you when you click on the feed icon.

Me? Nope, I don't work here, I just did some research on the forum software they use.

Hmm, actually, that didn't do it....

Using the URL , the difference between lastpost=1 and lastpost=0 is whether it shows the last posting in a thread or the first. It does not publish one "item" per post.

Furthermore, as new posts are made, it uses the same <guid> for every item, thus preventing a feed reader, like Google Reader, to notice that a posting is new (at least that's probably why I'm not seeing replies once I see the thread show up once).
