New Posts RSS feed

jocose

Hey is there any chance we could get an RSS feed for new posts? I, for one, would use it all the time if it were available.

Does anyone else think this would be useful?

I turned RSS feeds on.

How do we access this?

Yeah, I am confused isn't this something adam has to do?

Your browser's URL bar has a little RSS icon. Click on it.

Your RSS feed reader will also be able to autodetect the feed when you give it the boards URL, or the URL of a forum you want to track in particular.

There is an RSS feed button in the URL bar now.
I think you can subscribe to the forum or to individual threads

Does this really work? It seems to be an hour behind.

pior - If you're using Firefox, that's just how fast live bookmarks update by default (30 minutes). Here's a link to lower it, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/internet/firefox/change-update-interval-of-live-bookmarks-in-firefox/. Or there are addons like tickers to display new posts (with tooltips!) in your live bookmarks. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2325

I can't really get it working to my liking, not my thing I guess.

Same thing to me, I think because the rss need to authorize your username and password so it knows what new post to show up in ur reader?

I tried clicking on rss icon in the index, but in google reader it only shows new thread/topic being made and only show the first post. This is different from when I click 'New posts' from the forum.

Maybe what jocose and I expect is that everytime there's somebody replied the thread, it shows in google reader as rss update, this way we don't have to stumble upon few forums and could save time.

Interesting ideas.

Yeah, the default vBulletin RSS stuff doesn't do that, I guess. It's just a generic feed for the whole board or individual forums.

Maybe someone can find a vBulletin mod/plugin/something that does that.
