RSS Feed

[Lorand]

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]

Ill look into it.

 

[Lorand]

So it will be or won't be enabled?

 

[SFR]

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]

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

 

[SFR]

oh I know..


UserLand did with Netscape's idea kinda what Microsoft did with Xerox's mouse....
(I know.. not really anyway.... )

..... yeah I think Im going to learn some more about RDF/XML...

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.
http://www.computerforum.com/external.php?type=rss
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.

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

I also have a button on the IE toolbar which redirects the browser directly to the new posts page (as described here: http://www.computerforum.com/showthread.php?t=2137), but it would be interesting to be notified about those without starting the browser.

 

[Lorand]

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

 

[Praetor]

So it will be or won't be enabled?

My my we're demanding

 

[Christopher]

This hack could prove a bit useful

 

[ian]

ssshhhhh Chroder....you know how little I hate hard work, besides next I have to spend some time over at webdesignforum.com and fix stuff there...

 

[ian]

oh and then i will continue with some new work back here at computerforum.com but that will be a rather big project.

 

[Praetor]

yay big projects

 

[Christopher]

you know how little I hate hard work

So you hate hard work, but just a little?

Thats like a contradictory sentence

 

[ian]

ooopps that was a mistake
should have read you know how much I hate hard work.....

 

[Lorand]

Or how much you hate even a little work...

It was a Freudian slip... Ian's really a workaholic.

 

[Lorand]

Thanks, Ian, for enabling that RSS thingy.
It's nice to be up-to-date with what's happening on the forum.
