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.

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!
