This is the way to search for NEW POSTS
and get results only for the forums you are interested in
You need to make a "favorite" in your browser
.... with the following URL, which consists of
- A fixed part : search.php?search_id=newposts
- a list of selected forum ID's (here 2 are selected: "Ich spreche Deutsch" and "Jeg snakker norsk (Bokmål)"
&fid[]=60
&fid[]=188 - the search subforums option set to 1
&sc=1
How to make the list of your selected forum ID's.
- start an advanced search
- from the forums list, select the forums you want
==> you need to select only the top forums, one by one
==> CTRL-click to add more forums to the selection - execute the search
- locate the "fid%58%5D....fid%58%5D....fid%58%5D....&fid%58%5D..." part
NOTE that %5B is the [ character, and %5D is the ] character
So the forum ID list can also be manually typed as " &fid[]=60&fid[]=188 "
Example: the forum ID of "I speak English...learning Swedish" is 22
I want to search all new posts in tha forum and in the subforums
==> the URL is https://forum.duome.eu/search.php?search_id=newposts&fid[]=22&sc=1
Example: the forum ID of the Duome Forum Group = 1
So, to list all unread posts under this group
==> the URL is https://forum.duome.eu/search.php?search_id=unreadposts&fid[]=1|sc=1
