Paul D Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 I have created an RSS feed which is currently under test but will allow the forum to be viewed within an RSS Reader. Basically whenever an update is made to a topic on the forum, this will be detected by the reader when it checks the "news feeds". A message will then pop up to tell you that an update has been made in the forum. You will need an RSS Reader - I use the one attached to this post ( there are others available on the web ). You then need to add the RSS feed to the reader. Press "Add" and add the URL :- http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/feed.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted February 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Appears to work fine for new topics, but is not detecting updates to existing ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Martin Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Just finished loading rss also had to load microsoft.net framework 1.1 to get rss to load. All working fine on my m/c now and it looks like it might be a time saver with no need to keep checking for updated posts Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul D Posted February 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Warm - RSS actually stands for Really Simple Syndication ! Its not that smart - I just looked it up on the web. I now have it working so that every update will be reported ( hopefully ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
