Hi, I was just curious if there was an RSS feed for this forum and the calssifieds?

Thanks,

There are several of us active over on RSS these days, who regularly mentioned Bomber. Myself, lonerider, and Neil Gendzwill are there quote often, and others not as often.

There is no automated feed of Bomber posts oif classifieds though.

Perhaps the group admin would put a link to Bomber in the FAQ... I'll ask him.

If so, how's Mark Bock? Haven't seen him in a long while. Haven't been to RSS in ages.

or at least, that's what it used to be, haven't been there in years.

Thanks for the replys.

My question was in regards to the RSS news feature that many web sites now offer that allows you to get updates dynamically with an RSS enabled reader. It's a very convienent feature and I was hoping that bomberonline had it.

Here is a link about RSS:

if you go to a site like say
http://standingonthebox.blogspot.com/

you'll notice that in the bottom right hand corner is a little RSS icon.

That means you can get a feed off of that site.

At least firefox gets the RSS icon, I havn't tried IE, opera etc etc.

Looks like version 3 of this bulletin software supports RSS out of the box, but not this version (2.3.x). There also seem to be some hacks out there to let VB2 have RSS-like syndication.

I have a great RSS reader called netnewswire. It's for the MacOS X so it's not all that useful for most but it is slick software.

Would the email notification serve a similar purpose? In this forum you can elect to be emailed whenever someone posts in a thread you want to watch. Also, there is a thread subscription function, but I'm not sure how that works.

the thread subscribe and email notifiers are nice, but RSS is definatly better.
