RSS feed for the Coupon Connection
 
Why isn't there one, and would there be a way to implement one? It would be quite helpful in keeping track of current trades.

The RSS feeds are not secured by password and are not in use for any forum that requires particular user credentials.

Yes, but have you tried to use the Coupon Connection RSS feed? It just doesn't work. What is then the reason for this?

As Tim said, if you need certain credentials to access a forum (e.g., the CC has a min. post # + min. length since registration requirement), you will not be able to access an RSS feed for the forum. I suppose this is to make sure that those users who aren't allowed access to the CC yet (or anyone who is not a registered member of FT) from viewing the forum at all by means of an RSS feed (which would be viewable to everyone).

I see, I misunderstood what he said. So, there is no RSS feed. Got it. Thanks.

Yes, I just found out about this restriction today. Since FT has decided to limit CC access to only those with 100+ posts, and RSS has no password capabilities, then the answer is to disable RSS. Which is what has been done on FT.

Makes sense. Sad. But makes sense.

I thought it was 90 days and 90 posts. I continue to creep ever so slowly toward the prize...how do we access the coupon connection once reaching the prerequisite?

It should just automatically show up, and I believe it's 100 posts. Since you appear to be at 101, give it a couple of days. I know it took a day before mine showed up.

It's 90/90 and my CC showed up within minutes of my 90th post. Tks FT technical guru!
