RSS Feeds

[Mark]

Are there RSS feeds available which allows you to select which forums you'd like to receive them.

I think Vista as RSS built in now, on the mac I use their RSS screen saver which is excellent, it gets the feeds automatically and displays the heading info with a number next to it. Press the number on the keyboard and that web page opens up automatically.

The vBulletin software can provide RSS feeds, but I've not yet had time to put any thought to them. I will add it to the list though. :)

Hi Mark,

RSS Feeds have now been enabled :)

These can accessed in several ways, depending on which forum feeds you are interested.

All threads from all sections:-
http://www.inspiring-photography.com/forum/external.php?type=rss

On a per-subforum basis, eg. the Landscapes forum feed URL is:-
http://www.inspiring-photography.com/forum/external.php?type=rss&forumids=7

To grab feeds from other forums you replace the number at the end of the URL with that particular forum's corresponding number, which you can find in the URL of the forum web address when you are browsing it.

Or for example, grab the entire Photography section:-
http://www.inspiring-photography.com/forum/external.php?type=rss&forumids=4

An FAQ will be added in due course, and we are also looking into adding 'feed' icons into each forum heading at some point for convenience.

Hope you find it handy :)

Cheers,
Dave

Excellent Thanks. :thumbsup:

A couple of things, if you use RSS2 instead of RSS you get to see all the pictures that aren't attached (direct links)

feed://www.inspiring-photography.com/forum/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=7

You get

http://homepage.mac.com/fourfootone/pics/screen.jpg

And then assigning an rss feed to your screensaver you get the following.

Thanks Mark, will be sure to include that info in the FAQ. :)
