Tool to notifying for new forum post


Hi all,

I am searching for a tool that notify when new post is made on a thread. I found one program "phpBB post notifier", but it is for windows and can't run with wine. There is no author and developer page to check for more information.

Anyone know such a program?

Do you mean: notify when a new post is made to a particular thread or to any thread? If it's a particular thread, you could simply subscribe, and enable the option to be notified by email when a new post is made. You could have a (for example) special GMail account, for this purpose only, and then use some tool (or write a tool) to regularly check for new messages, etc.

Doesn't this forum already do that (default setting)? You can subscribe to threads, and you can specify if you want email notifications when there are new posts to subscribed threads. Or, am I missing something here?
