RSS for this discussion board ??
 

Hi All

Could it be possible that there is a RSS aggregator link for this discussion forum.

I joined recently so i dunno if it was discussed before, but it would be a great tool. Maybe the IT support team for FT can look into it.

The MR thread is a treasure trove of information and getting messages pop up in realtime would make it priceless

I wish!

I haven't heard it discussed before, though there may be better places to discuss it.

sounds like a post for the technical issues or suggestions forums not for MR

It's there, I'm using it
 

Just click on Quick Links, and last two options are RSS URLs (ver. 1 and ver. 2 respectively).

I cant see options in quick links

Help

I can see them just fine. Look for This forum RSS 2.0.
The link I use is:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/exter...2&forumids=372
You can even make a live bookmark with it if you use FireFox.

Agreed completely - I'm moving this there.

Hot dang...never saw that RSS link...brilliant!

Here's RSS Ver. 2

:confused:

still cant find it....am using firefox

found it :)

Can anyone tell me which I should choose RSS 1.0 or RSS 2.0 for my aggregatting program? Or what the difference is? (Beyond the obvious version level difference)

Depends on your RSS reader. Chances are either one will work for you if you have a modern reader.

I'm using Safari 2.0 under Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). For any forum in RSS that I subscribe to, only 15 total posts appear. Any idea why?

For example, here's the RSS feed for Travel Technology: feed://www.flyertalk.com/forum/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=169

When I click on the above link, only 15 total posts show up. Same thing with other forums. :confused:

We don't have Tiger on any machines yet, so this is a just a guess, but is there a preference in Safari that sets that limit?

It seems to be working fine now. It only showed the 15 posts limit the first time I opened the forums. Somehow it corrected itself. And no, there is no preference limit in the new RSS tab for Safari.

I only ever see the first post of a thread. E.g. when a new post is added to an existing thread, it shows up in the reader - but when I look at the post, I see only the first post for that thread, not the most recent one. As I'm relatively new to RSS, is this something I'm doing or an issue with FT's RSS feed? FWIW, I've tried three different readers (Awasu, NewzCrawler and FeedDemon).

I'm not very smart about this, but it is the same way in BlogLines. I suspect that the first entry is just the teaser, and you are supposed to click through if you want to see the whole thread.

If a administrator would add this line to the Meta-tags (located in "headinclude" template of vBulletin) we would all find the RSS automatically in Safari or Firefox:
