[solved] Question on RSS feed: new threads only?

Hi all,

I am currently using the following feed URL in my RSS reader:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/extern.php?action=feed&type=atom

That feed contains an entry for every post that is being submitted to the forums. That's pretty much every day and often I don't have the time to go through them all. What I would really like to have is a separate feed URL that only produces entries for every new thread.

Does that already exist? Or is it possible to activate or implement it?

Thanks in advance & kind regards,
jamesbond007.

Re: [solved] Question on RSS feed: new threads only?

Thanks for the information Pierre, this is what I needed to make these forums less annoying to read . (Since "Show all posts since last visit" is not helpful at all; if you don't want to miss posts, that is.)

To avoid missing some new threads, it can be useful to increase the show variable:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/extern.php?action=feed&type=atom&order=posted&show=50

(I wish I could set it above 50 in order for example to be able to see all new threads after a one week vacation, but that's already very nice.)
