Sorry, I feel like such a leech!
You're not a leech. It's OK to ask questions.

" use_embedded_content= True" Simply means to show you the feed page, not the linked articles. The feed page has only one post from each thread.

"oldest_article=" controls how old the article can be on the RSS feed page. Since all links are to recent posts, I suspect that all will be less than 7 days old.

"max_articles_per_feed=100" simply means if there are more than 100, don't show them. The feed appears to have only 15 articles.

If you want the linked pages (the threads) you need to write a recipe for them. You need to decide how far back you want to go and you'd need to write a multipage recipe, if you want multiple pages. Personally, I don't like forum recipes because if I'm interested enough to read it, I want to be able to post into the forum.

I assumed you just wanted to see the articles in the feed, then if you were interested, you'd click on the link within the recipe-ebook to open the forum in your browser, where you could read the entire thread.
