Pardon for my English, and I welcome everyone to correct any mistakes.

So I want to post any new topics on my forum to Twitter and Facebook Page automatically to increase outreach and I have nothing better to do in weekend.

First determine your forum rss feed, it's pretty easy. Just look on the bottom right for rss icon and copy the link.

Code: [Select]

http://www.elkarte.net/community/index.php?action=.xml;type=rss2;limit=5

Next replace the keyword to only show the new topics:

Code: [Select]

http://www.elkarte.net/community/index.php?action=.xml;type=rss2;sa=news

From here it's easy.

Create Twitter account for your forum and optionally a Facebook page.

Next, just use IFTTT (If This Then That), create new applet for Twitter and Facebook Page (Not Facebook, unless you want new status posted using your own personal account) then connect your account. Now everytime any new topic posted it will be tweeted and updated in Facebook. Done!

I find that this is, so far, the easiest one.
