This program will check if there are any new posts in conforum.
If there is, then it will email you ( if your ISP permit it ) or display a messagebox with the option to open your web browser to read the new post(s).

Refer to: http://bb4w.wikispaces.com/Sending+an+email+automatically for email issues.

However there are a couple of disadvantages: you need to know the name (or IP address) of the SMTP server to be used, and it cannot work with a server which requires authentication. In practice this usually means you need to use the 'local' SMTP server provided by the ISP supplying the internet connection.


Download Check_conforum.bbc at:
http://www.fix24.net/bb4w/


You may/must edit these lines to suit your preferences:

Code:
      Smtp$="smtp.xxx.xxx"   : REM your ISP smtp address
      To$="you@some.where"   : REM your email address
      Sendmail% = 1          : REM 1=send mail , 0=display messagebox
      Checkdelay% = 4        : REM 0=run once , 1 and up = hours to wait before next check of the conforum page
 


I have made a Bcc: to bb4w.yahoogroups.com in my version of the program. I can continue to do so until told otherwise or the group closes or someone writes a better program and hosts it.

I forgot a few things. !!

1. I gave link to the folder, not the file.
Here's the file link: http://fix24.net/bb4w/Check_conforum.bbc

2. I forgot to mention that the very first time you run this program, it will flag the whole webpage as new.
Simply because there is no previous reading to compare with.
Consider it a functionality test.

3. I forgot to verify that mailing to yahoogroups worked. Can't see any message there, so i guess there is more to it than a simple blindcopy.
