It looks like the only forum that has a feed is the Africa forum - is this true, or am I missing something? I would love to add some forums to my reader.

Ok, like two seconds ago I was just thinking, "What the hell is an RSS feed? I wish I could ask someone without sounding like a complete moron." Too late for that.

Anyone?

Sorry, I didn't mean to be confusing. It's just that I noticed there is a box for the RSS feeds, but when you click on it, it only lists the Africa forum. I tried it and it works, but can't figure out how to add any of the other forums (or whether they're even available to feed).

Thanks for any help - I tried searching, but couldn't find anything that matched up with what I was looking for.

Basically, an RSS feed is a source from where your RSS reader (your browser, for exemple) can check if there is anything new.

In the case of the Africa forum, the RSS feed probably informs you every time a new topic or reply is posted, or something like that.

Hope that helps Smile

Right, I know that - sorry, my post probably wasn't clear. I use Google for my RSS feed, and was able to add Africa to it. I'm trying to figure out if I can add the other forums (i.e., Middle East, Europe, etc.) to my reader - the way it's configured now, it looks like Africa is the only available forum to feed, and I'm trying to confirm that.

We're working on building a list of them to get online onto the Boards soon in a nicely laid out and easy to read manner really soon.

In the mean time if there is a particular forum you want the feed for, just let me know! I can get you the URL for that to satisfy your immediate craving. Smile

Jet - We will also have an email notification system (in addition to the one built into the Boards) that will send you a daily summary. This works great for people who don't like, or are uncomfortable with RSS feeds.

Thank you both! I would love to have the URL for the Middle East forum so I can add that. I can't wait for the list - this board is great!

Here you go:

I'll update this thread when we get the rest of the forum RSS feeds built too. It might be a few days though.

Ciao!

Thanks ever so! I already have it going (I love Firefox - it pretty much adds it automatically) - can't wait for the rest. Smile

Here is another feed, for the Members forum:
http://feeds.bootsnall.com/bna/forums-membersforum

Anyone have requests for which ones should be added next? I'd like to do them in order of what's most important to you guys instead of just my own random process. Smile

I wish there was a way you could get an RSS feed for a single post/message so you can follow everything up. Is there???

Oh I know that but if the new posts in a thread went into my RSS feeder, that would be ultrafab!

Good idea for a feature request Cherie - I am sure it is possible. We have 10s of 1000s of RSS feeds across BTN - I'll see if we can do this here.
