Feature request - RSS support

Hi guys,

I saw in the announcement for the fundraiser that with the money you guys plan to not only upgrade hardware but also pay a developer to do some work. One thing I think would be extremely useful would be to add RSS support to the forum. This forum is a little behind the times in that respect as it seems that RSS is built in to most forum systems nowadays.

RSS is awesome because it allows you to very quickly skim new posts with brief amounts of the post, and you can read the feed in whatever reader you like (whether it's your email client, iPhone, Google Reader, etc...).

Please do add advertisements to the RSS feeds, nobody will mind, and it will help keep the site running in the long term.

Thanks!

I'm not sure I can follow. The site has RSS support.

Regards,
Robin

"new posts" button at top of the page

The "New Posts" button can be located at the top of the page in the "Quick Links" menu.

Hope this helps.

I think Robert means the RSS in XML format which is very easy to read on many platforms and devices as it's a stripped down web feed.

As much as I love the forum it's a PITA to follow on my Iphone.

So what do you reckon the chances are of an SRP iPhone app..? :) Only problem is I think all the apps are done in objective C, which is just plain horrible. My brothers really into all this stuff though, and he was telling me it may be possible to do apps on Flash C5. :shrug:

What is an iPhone? And what's wrong with these?

It works great.

What an excellent idea. I'll give it some serious consideration, okay?

You won't be able to submit those apps anymore because Apple changed their developer license to prevent them. A purposeful move to screw over Adobe.

Nothing's wrong with the one link.

Sorry guys, I just didn't see the traditional RSS symbol anywhere, maybe we could just point it out more clearly for new people. A button they could push to get the URL to copy into their readers.

Do you have this button in your browser? It came default with mine, but I guess I don't know how prevalent it is for everyone

I use Safari, just noticed I have the same button but it's blue. Didn't know that's what it does haha.

Thanks!

For anyone else on Safari that is wondering what it looks like:

Thanks for pointing this out!!

I was looking for a way to follow the Classifieds in real-time and at first I tried suscribing to the forum with email updates. Well, turns out having my inbox filled with emails wasn't too practical so I dropped it.

Based on BeBerlin's suggestion I found and added the Classifieds' stream to my RSS reader and it's working like a charm. It even shows the pictures of the product right next to the description!!

Now if only you could work the Condition and Price fields into the RSS stream I would be one really happy camper... :-)
