That's true - for each new or updated thread found in a subscribed forum, you would need to do a query for new posts. But I think it should be almost the same query that's done for updated posts in each subscribed thread. I was thinking maybe if you could take the part from the beginning that processes each subscribed thread and make it a separate function, then maybe you could use it in the section that processes new and updated threads.

BTW, I responded because I remember seeing you post this as a follow-up question in that other thread and I meant to answer there but I forgot. But I guess when people post here they're really looking for someone to do the coding, so my answer really isn't very good. If I get a chance to look at it later maybe I can be of more help.

ETA: actually I won't be able to do this, so if anyone else can help please go ahead.
