Suggestion RSS feed for each forum/subforum

[Stocks_go_Up]

Bigfooty should add a feature which lets you subscribe to your favourite forums using an RSS feed. EG. The Geelong forum, so the interesting forums can be read with something like google reader.

You can - I'd have to dig up the links though.

Search this very board for "RSS feed" or something like that.

I must be blind because I cannot see a RSS feed button anywhere... I am using firefox. I can get the rss feed for the main page from a link provided in an old thread, but can't find anything else.

 

[Chief]

Hmmm... Should work.

I'll put my best man on it.

Any follow up on this Chief? By all reports in 2007 there used to be an RSS button at the top right of thread lists on each board. It would be a handy feature to have.

USe this link:

x,y,z... = any number of forum IDs that you want included in the feed.

Old Vernon Bulletin style. New style only gives one forum at a time.

Can you give an example Chief? Can't quite get it to work.

Put /index.rss at the end of a forum URL:

Maybe a silly question, but are the RSS feeds limited to actual forums? E.g., can https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/whats-new/posts/1650040/ be RSS-ified?

No I don’t think so sorry.
