Richard Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Nice - I was already using the news feed. Is the second one the last 25 new threads or the last 25 posts in any thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted October 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Either. I can add more specific feeds if the community wants. Just suggest.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Either. I can add more specific feeds if the community wants. Just suggest.. Chris can you check the update properties for the new posts feed - my RSS reader says it is set 15 hours not 15 minutes.I think the TTL is at 900.

Christopher Posted October 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Hrm, I have it set as 15 minutes -- I'm not sure what to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Hrm, I have it set as 15 minutes -- I'm not sure what to say. Strange.. If i open the link http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?act=rssout&id=2 in Firefox just as an xml page the TTL tag is at 900. Does it do the same for you / or do I have the wrong link?

zerodB Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Love the RSS feeds... They play nice as live bookmarks in Firefox 1.5:And show up nice with the pics as well in your RSS reader:I was originally using the XML feed from the front page (mindisc.org). Incidently, what's happening with that site? It doesn't get updated much anymore and the equipment browser is lacking a lot of the latest units. On the plus it also contains a whole host of really useful info (FAQs) and links, things that really should be stickied here. Is this forum supposed to be a seperate entity to minidisc.org, or is their going to be tighter intergration in the future? I'm just curious...

Richard Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I click the RSS button and all i get is a page with what looks like html only, and no proper web page thing. What browser are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercury_in_flames Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 firefox 1.0.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 (edited) firefox 1.0.7 Just click on the icon at the bottom right corner of the browser and you should get and option to subscribe to the various feeds. You can then add these as bookmarks and they will be updated with latest posts etc.. when you click in the bookmark. Personally I used a dedicated RSS reader called Feed Demon which is very good.

Richard Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 (edited) 30 bucks?? say wa? i jus thought if it was something you could do with firefox, then k, but im not that fusses, tnx neway. You can do it for free of course in Firefox, but I don't like reading my feeds as bookmarks. Plus I subscribe to a lot of feeds.Edit - you can also use Mozilla Thunderbird Edited November 15, 2005 by richyhu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breepee2 Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 If you use Firefox, then use the Sage plugin to read RSS. Much better than the built in feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerodB Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I'm using the Feedview plugin with Firefox v1.5. The feedview extension will be built into Firefox 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted November 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 (edited) 'MDCF News' has been renamed 'Minidisc.org News' as we will soon be carrying a script on the front site of minidisc.org that will import RSS topics from the news forum there, replacing the way we posted news in the past. This will greatly bring the portal and forums together in a blissful union to bring the community even closer. This will also helpfully usher more individuals into the forum.
