RSS Feed

Lorand · 11-07-2004, 10:05 AM

Why RSS isn't enabled on this forum? I think it would be useful to get notified automatically when new posts appear on the forum.

**ian** · 11-07-2004, 10:17 AM

Ill look into it.

Lorand · 11-10-2004, 12:51 AM

So it will be or won't be enabled?

**SFR** · 11-10-2004, 01:04 AM

am I mistake or can we choose to have emails sent to us every time there is a new post?

..anyway yeah RSS-aware programs are definitely cool...

Lorand · 11-10-2004, 01:15 AM

E-mail notifications are fine, but in the RSS-feed you could get all new posts, not just from subscribed threads.

I'd like it enabled too. Firefox's support for "active bookmarks" is great for forums. I thought I read something about vB going against something in the RSS standards though. Not sure if they fixed it, or if it will cause problems with readers.

I dont know all that much about RSS feeds in relation to browsers and readers etc.
The only RSS feature, I could find on vb for RSS feeds I enabled, there was mention of this link.

When I want to see new posts, I simply click on the new posts link at the top of the forum.

The feed started, but I only get 15 new posts (the same ones) all the time. What could be wrong? I'm using FeedReader 2.7.

I also have a button on the IE toolbar which redirects the browser directly to the new posts page (as described here: Would you like a Computer Forum toolbar on your browser?), but it would be interesting to be notified about those without starting the browser.

Oh, I get it... It only notifies about new threads, unfortunately not about new posts.
