The general RSS Feed ((
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/external.php?type=RSS2)) seems to leave out a lot of posts/forums. Or it's not updated very often.
Either way, you can usually find newer posts on the forum index page than this feed presents.

Wait a second. This 'ere thread just appeared on the feed.
But the latest "NOW what are you playing?" message, which is newer, does not appear.
And then it dawned on me... The feed. It only contains new threads!
What makes this worse, is that I knew this before. And now I remember that there was a parameter to get the latest posts.

It's common for forum software to offer RSS feeds. You can get feeds of specific subforums by adding the forum ids like this: (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/external.php?lastpost=true&type=RSS2&forumids=83,170,100)
That would be all 3 subforums of the "Thief Series" category. Unfortunately the number of items is capped at 15, which is really quite low when pulling feeds from several subforums. I'm sure this can be set somewhere in the forum options.

I've increased the maximum to 50, but you'll need to add "&count=50" (or whatever value you prefer) to the URL otherwise you'll get the default value of 15.

Cool, thanks a lot!
