When I wrote my first reply confirming the "No messages" worked, I got a Yellow box on submitting post
Saying "error getting posts Please try Again" "No posts" after clicking ok, I then clicked refresh I was able to see my post.

I got the error as well. I'm looking into it. Maybe a release before even RC8 was optimistic

When I tried and added a forum in the experimental section I got the following yellow box

The forum and how I typed it was www.ubuntuforums.org after I clicked ok on the yellow window, I was logged out of XBMC.org which I was previously logged into.

Thanks for the update

I knew you would just have to try the experimental thing
You need to type the full url - http://ubuntuforums.org/ (maybe I'll change that before the next update)

Just assume that anything you use that I have under the 'experimental' heading is 'Use at your own risk' and 'May cause errors at any time and I don't care'
This is mostly so I can test some things without actually including them in the normal code. I'm not necessarily paying attention to whether it works at all when I put out a new release.

That being said, feel free to play with it. In the current release it tries to work with vbulletin, mybb and phbb (ubuntu should work, it's one I tested with)
It only shows forums and threads. The next release will probably have posts. Everything will be somewhat messy with missing descriptions and such. There is no page handling. Trying anything I didn't put in will cause errors.

Right now I'm just playing around and seeing how much I can do with a general purpose parser, getting an idea of what does and does not work.
The idea is to get something that can do some barebones work with most forums, and then to add as little forum type specific stuff to that model as I can get away with.
