VBF RSS Feed Beta

[Danial]

what on earth does it do?

Well RSS is simply an XML file which you can use to output info/data you want other pople to view using RSS Reader which is a bit like News Group reader. If you use FireFox then it will create a Live Book mark which will list all the info from the XML File, e.g News Headline, New Threads, Blogs etc.

In this case I simply list all the New threads(first page) from every forum(you can subscribe to any) and list them, you can directly come to the thread by clicking link.

In the 2nd version for RSS Readers includes the avility to view posts for the threads from the first page.

Here is a Print Screen from FireFox

Hey Danial,

if I have a look at the Rss-Feeds from some blogs, they always post most of their content in the <decsription> Tag.

Any particular Reason why you are not doing the same?

Hi Stephan,
Thank you for your comment. I intially added the description tag and had Number of Posts + LastPost + Poster etc for each thread. I even added all posts for each thread in the description tag. But if I put all the posts for each thread in description tag it will load a bit slow, so thats why I created a link which loads all the posts when you click a particular thread.

If you wish I can modify and give you the option to lists all the posts in the description tag. I assumed you want posts in the description tag, if not then please let me know.

Thanks.

No just a question, its good the way it is! Was just wondering why! Cause as I said most blogs include the content in their description tag, but then of course a blog is something completely different than a forum of this size!

No everything is good the way it is right now! I am using the feeds quite regularly! Good work there! Thanks again!

Oops, Sorry I misunderstood you there. Great to know you are finding it useful. Any further suggestion and comments is very welcome.

Just out of curiosity what reader are you using? I have only tested it with SharpReader.

Thanks for your comment again Stephan.

Actually I am using my own custom Rss Reader, and SharpReader.

My own Reader is not yet as good as SharpReader and was designed for some blogs I was checking on a daily basis. But at the moment whenever I have some time, I am improving my own reader, so it will read all Rss, Atom Feeds.

If I ever think its good enough I will be posting it here! Might take some time, cause there is still a lot of work to do!
