In VB 3.6.1, is there a way to make External Data Provider update according to posts rather than threads?
I'm using it to generate a feed for my site's mainpage, and would like for it to keep updated based on the most recent posts, instead of the threads.

Wow I think this is exactly what I've been stressing over...

So http://www.ruleoneforum.com/external.php?lastpost=1 will update as per new posts made even in existing threads?

(as opposed to new threads only)

?

If so, great! now how do I make this the link for the RSS feed that appears to the right of the URL in the browser's address bar?

Currently, the link is: http://www.ruleoneforum.com/external.php?type=RSS2


edit:: nevermind i think I found what i was looking for in the headinclude template
