I'm adding support for vBulletin forums and SMF forums. (By the way, I'm kind of surprised that vBulletin uses MD5 on client side when submitting password!) But the vBulletin site I'm testing on have no new posts currently, and the SMF one is totally down. :) So I need to wait for some time to do a final test.

- It would be nice to have the login info made more visible (ie. be under some sort of settings sections/function)
- I can confirm it working partially under Windows 7 - I was able to see the latest new post/thread, but i also got an error:

The configuration is only a one-time work, so it's not too much a burden, but maybe I will consider splitting the configuration to a separate file once the script gets stable. Currently I could update the script everyday so splitting the configuration will only create more troubles when upgrading.

As for the exception, Vanilla, I thought you would at least carefully read the bold parts in my thread, but you did not, unfortunately. Your problem is caused by the default value of the option 'cmdexec', which is designed purely for Linux users instead of Windows users. I've stated that point clearly in my thread, and you did not notice it. Please read the bold part:

(The script comes with a nice default value for Linux users, but for Windows users it will cause an exception! Windows users may change it to the blank value "cmdexec = ()".)

Code:

# No command is the best command :D
cmdexec = ()

# Attention: If there's only a single string in the tuple, you need to add an extra comma after the string.
cmdexec = ('notify-send "{site}" "{title} by {author}"', )

# The command I use:
cmdexec = (r'notify-send A\ new\ post\ in\ {site_esc} {title_esc}\ by\ {author_esc}', 'mplayer -really-quiet /usr/share/sounds/purple/receive.wav')
# {site_esc} = shell-escaped {site}. And so forth...

# An example of a command on Windows
cmdexec = (r'C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe C:\skyrocket_explode.mp3', )

The reason why it fails, technically, is {site_esc}, {title_esc}, and {author_esc} are all not provided for Windows, since they are shell-escaped in Unix fashion.
In order to use the script on Windows, you need to change 'cmdexec' to a more reasonable value. For example, the first and the last example are both usable under Windows. With the last example, you can play a sound with VLC when there's a new post. (But make sure you change the path of VLC and the music file to a valid local path.)
