RSS

I was sure there used to be RSS options. Have they gone or am I too dozy to see them?

I remember there being an RSS feature on the old PHPBB2 but not since we migrated..

Dave tried to get rid of the RS Holes

RSS is available out of the box with vB.

Your browser should automatically detect the URL's are RSS enabled and in my case Firefox shows an RSS feed icon next to the URL in the address bar.

OK, for the normal ones of us who had girlfriends or were out nicking mopeds and corona bottles from the back yard of the corner shops for returning the next morning instead of huddling in our bedrooms hunched over a keyboard and developing short sightedness and an inherant fear of women






WHAT THE HELL IS RSS WHAT AM I MISSING AND SHOULD I BE USING IT?













Yours confused.

My thoughts exactly but was ashamed to ask!


What does RSS stand for?????

RSS = Really Simple Syndication

Here's a link to the forum FAQ on RSS.
Honda Trail Bike Forums - FAQ: General Forum Usage

Here's a link to an RSS definition on Wikipedia.

Cheers Dave.

I can bookmark it by clicking on it (it is blue though, which hid it from me) but I cannot copy the link, which I want to do to subscribe to from my zebra website (as I have done with MCN).

I tried that link you posted (http://www.xrv.org.uk/forums/external.php?type=RSS2) but I get an error message.

Any ideas?

Chris, try RSS1 at the end instead of RSS2, just that there's different versions of RSS, the later RSS2 might not be supported by your app
