How can it update with just anybody's messages if it will only update with messages from that user's profile page? Only 1 person's messages are on the profile page.

It isn't checking the whole site for links...only the specific page we told it to, which has the user's ID in it:

That URL will not change and it will only look on that page for the posts it will report on.

And it will only include the links from the repeating pattern we 'taught' it when we selected all the links that should be included in it.

It isn't based on the forum's feed data...it is based on changes to the profile page.

This service makes feeds for sites and pages that don't have feeds. It bases it on the actual page content, kind of how website watcher looks for changes, this does too.

Give it a try for a few days and you'll see that it works just fine.

OK fair enough - let's see how it goes.
