Rss?

[TER]

RSS for the HAMB works great, but it's not working for me here. The "help" search turned up this (http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/faq.php?s=&do=search&q=rss&match=all&titlesonly=0) but neither the add to My Yahoo nor paste URL approach works.

Thanks,

Terry

He might not have it turned on yet. It's only a couple of seconds to turn it on (after you can remember where vBulletin put it)

It's also possible to add a button to the page somewhere or create an icon that shows on the right side ofthe URL address. See the site in my sig to view the examples I mentioned above (RSS button at bottom)

Thanks for the reply. I thought the same (not turned on) except the RSS links are on the main Garage Journal Page here (http://www.garagejournal.com/) in the right hand column, but they don't work for the forums.

That pretty much exhausts my understanding. BTW, I bookmarked the board in your sig, thanks.

I knew I had seem something else about RSS somewhere on here (your link is where I had seen it before - forgot where though). The XML is only for that page, so no go on the forum.

Do alot of folks use that on the HAMB? It can be a bandwidth hog if lots and lots of folks are using it. But it would take many users to make a noticable difference in bandwidth usage.

Not sure what browser you use, but Firefox handles RSS feeds very well. You add a live bookmark with the XML info and when you open your bookmarks, all the new threads are listed. Still working out how to increase the refresh frequency (not hard I don't think, just haven't found the time to do it yet).

I've rolled out RSS on all of my forums as soon as I learned about it. Ain't technology great? :bowdown:
