Topic: External calls

I tried searching for this and came up with no hits, so please pardon my ignorance if this has been answered already.  Here's what i'm trying to do...

I want to use extern.php to populate the front page of a site.  I see there's fid= which will coordinate with a particular forum, but how about a User ID?  For example, if i have a forum named "front page links" i'd like the news posts made by ME and nobody else to appear on the front page.

Is there an option to specify a certain user as in:

http://host.com/forums/extern.php?actio … fid=5&UID=2

Just curious.  It would save me a world of grief in the long run to be able to do that.

Currently, no.
