My recipe currently looks like this:

class AdvancedUserRecipe1305962894(BasicNewsRecipe):
title = u'Rangefinder Forum'
oldest_article = 7
max_articles_per_feed = 100
use_embedded_content = True
feeds = [(u'RFF', u'http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/external.php?type=rss2')]

This works beautifully except that it only ever gets the first post in a forum thread. Are you saying that every response post will be treated as a new "page"? To date, Calibre has never fetched ANY response post.

Again, my thanks for your help.
I'm saying that this:
use_embedded_content = True
only shows what's on the feed page., and that page never has response posts. You need to change that line to False (which is where you started) and then write the recipe to deal with images and all the junk it pulls down. If you need it, you'll also need to write it to grab the second and third pages, etc.
