JustGav Posted November 5, 2004 Author Share Posted November 5, 2004 An RSS Feed, is in basic terms, just a headline / message scraper, which simply gives you the heading of the post, in a nice presentable format. Which you can then pull into a program... I use RssReader 1.0.88.0, and it pulls headlines from BBC and a few other online boards I read (slashdot), and then just checks for update every 10 minutes. The websites need to publish the RSS feed first tho, then you can use them. Look for RSS logo's on various websites. Gavan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mawby Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 I've just got the RSS feed option working on my test upgrade system so this feature will be available once we upgrade the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
