Also, lets say i got the email on the 1st, and on the 9th i want to know the newest releases? I don't want to have to wait 5 days just to get an answer.

Solution. Make a new file like latesthacks.php or something. With drop down menus selecting vB2 or vB3. Which forums, and how many days would you like to check. So the user can pick a vb3 hack in all subforums for the last 3 days. Ect... Hope you see where i'm getting at.

Hope my idea is helpful

While this is also a good idea, I think alot of this can be done simply using the search or the external.php for xml/rss.

The newsletter would probably be something to give members that don't check in that often a quick update.
