I'd like to be notifed of new posts without coming to the site every day, how about an RSS feed for all new posts? I didn't delve too deeply into this thread, but it looks like it has been done on phpbb.
Edit: this looks like a more useful resource page: http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/catdb.php?cat=56
forum request - rss feeds

Well, I'm not sure about which version of phpBB Lost Marble uses, and whether they really want RSS reading software increasing the load on the forum server, but here's a set of instructions that seems to be for phpBB2:

I agree.... this would be very nice.
It's a pain that the software doesn't keep track of what has been read and what hasn't - only what's been posted since your last login. I've been away from the forum for a couple of weeks, and after the first time back I don't have a way of knowing what I've read and what I haven't since I wasn't able to catch up that first time.

Could one of you forum admin types (Vern? Genete?) please PM Mike about this again? While we know he's busy doing such a mod takes less than five minutes (I know -- I just did TWO of my forums yesterday for a grand total of five minutes for both).
If he can't spare five minutes then he could let one of you do it -- I'd be glad to walk you through it, Vern. He'll have to grant you TCP access, but I can't see why that would be an issue. The enhancement to this forum would be immense (I never thought much about RSS until a member asked me for it yesterday. Now after looking at it I can't believe I never had it -- it enables us to see new posts almost as they happen, all without the hassle of having to click and read each one, and makes management of such information a snap).
I'm going to violate rules and cross post this -- it's too important not to have someone notice this (which wouldn't be a problem with RSS Feeds :>)
