RSS Feed of new posts?

[acbaldwin]

Is there an RSS feature here?
I don't much use RSS readers, but I find myself checking "New Posts" constantly.
RSS was designed specifically for this sort of thing. Can we has it?

I would LOVE this. I have recommended a few upgrades similar to this, but i havent seen blake online in a very long time.

we've been begging for random upgrades here n there. it'd be nice!

[acbaldwin]

It looks like I might be able to create one using a third party service, even though I'm not an admin here. I'll update.

[jrod11]

do the other mods have power to make upgrades? i know that some of the things that i suggested are just extensions that get installed into the forum.

anyone heard from blake?

[acbaldwin]

I'd be surprised if he gave permissions at that level.

I use Google Reader and I'm currently getting a feed.

here's the address:
http://www.sdreefs.com/forums/external.php

How'd you find that feed? I can't find a link to /external.php anywhere.

do you use google reader?
under 'settings-goodies' there's a bookmark ('subscribe as you surf') you make that finds feeds on any page if there are any to be found.

Ahh dang it, the /external.php feed won't update quickly for new posts or threads.
I'm going to just keep "New Posts" open in Opera and set it to refresh the page every 2 minutes.

I've tried a lot of different third party services and they either won't update often without paying, or they don't scrape the code correctly.


That's cool about the "subscribe as you surf" - I'll keep that in mind.
