I read several message boards each day and I would like a way to see all of them at once, sort through the read/unread items, and search posts. Basically I'm thinking of something like Google Reader with RSS feeds. However, at least one of the forums I read does not have an RSS feed.

A quick Google search brought up ForumPilot.

However, it can't seem to identify my forum engine so it fails. Any suggestions?

Web Forum Reader can do this. I'm not sure about the searching feature, but it will conveniently display new topics so you can sort through them easily.

Check to see if the forums offer an RSS feed of the forums. RSS Feeds can be passworded, and protected, so it maybe as simple as using an RSS feeder, with your account information.

  • Yes, but even if 50% of the forums he watches has RSS feeds, it will make it easier to monitor the others.... Commented Nov 12, 2009 at 22:22
