RSS Feeds

I know that the http://community.java.net/games site has RSS feeds, but it would be a nice feature to add to this forum.
That way from within Firefox, I can easily see which topics have been created/updated.

Yes it should be interesting ;D
Maybe its a thing to put in the topic about the new forum :wink:
Here: http://www.java-gaming.org/cgi-bin/JGNetForums/YaBB.cgi?board=announcements;action=display;num=1096769690

I want to backup the this thread. RSS on boards should be standard today. RSS rules and can safe A LOT of time. Of cource there should be a seperate RSS feed link for each category.

Maybe there are already RSS Mods around for this type of board? If not - it shouldnt be too hard to programm it, since you about only need to display the latest posts as xml.

Multi-media output. (XHTML, XML, RSS, WAP)

[s]so whats the official comment on rss-feeds now?

since this is a board for programmers, something like rss-feeds should be well accepted. I use it and its saving me A LOT of time, because I dont have to browse those sites anymore, if there are no news that I’m interested in. so please add it.[/s]

Ooops, sorry, I just realised that rss feeds ARE already implemented by default. But if you dont know it then you’ll never find them.

So RSS-Feeds for this board are: http://192.18.37.44/forums/index.php?action=.xml;limit=50;type=rss
With limit you specify the number of recent messages you want to downlaod.

Unfortunately, one cannot choose RSS-Feeds for specific subboards. Its the whole board or nothing. But anyway, its great to have it!
