Do you have an RSS feed from RFF?

[MP Guy]

I decided to implement RSS feed option and it works fairly well. Now my bookmark is a drop downlist of the latest entries into RFF.

Do you RSS RFF? 🙂

Can't say I do - not sure even how to implement it?

Same as Chris... And can you reply to the messages you see?

Jorge,

Is it possible for you to enable a Firefox "Live Bookmark" on the main page. I just created a Live Bookmark to the RSS feed page but I would like to be able to arrive at the main page when I select "Open Location" or click through (with the LiveClick extension enabled). When I do this under the current setup, I arrive at the very bare-bones RSS feed page. This isn't a big deal, but it would be ideal to be able to view the Live Bookmarks and then move directly to the main RFF page.

I tried the RSS feed a while back when I went to bookmark a thread and everything started flying at me. I find it easier to go to RFF's homepage.

I must be stupid- I don't even know what it is.....

At the risk of being ridiculed; what is RSS?
I hate missing out on stuff

Basically, its a news feed. As new titles come up, they're added on the feed. Kinda like the bottom of CNN or the Stock Market.

When you make a live bookmark for the RSS feed, everytime you check it, it gives a list of the threads with most recent posts.

Most blogs have an RSS function that allows you to keep up to date with the latest blog entry too

Ah-well somebody will explain to me how to do it in due course I suppose....🙁

 

[rover]

Me too, sitting here at a loss.

Um, I use a knife in my kitchen, not a food processor
My car has a standard transmission
My cameras are manual
I view RFF by clicking on links

What is this RSS stuff.

Thank you,

perhaps not, I’ve noticed that; as I get older the young’ns stop answering me
🙁

hey hey hey! I answered?

 

[Kim Coxon]

Yes but you didn't explain How! 😀

Right, if you have FireFox (which you should, its the best browser 😀 ) do this:

Go to the home page,
Click "new posts"
Look at the address bar, there should be a nice orange square with lines through it
Click it

 

[Sparrow]

Yes but you didn't explain How! 😀

Kim

they never do
😀

 

[Sparrow]

If you don’t have firefox?

 

[Ash]

Here we go:

You can see my well-ordered bookmark toolbar, with all the sites I visit regularly/daily.

Screenshot one - the orange thing
Screenshot two, a live bookmark using RSS

EDIT: If you don't have firefox, download it. Tabbed browsing, better security, popup/banner-ad blocking using 'adblock' plugin, live bookmarks 😀 and it's free

I find it to be a waste of time, since the RSS feed items don't contain anything except a link to the first post. If I have to open the RFF page anyway to find out what a post is about, then I can browse RFF from the beginning.

Am I missing your screenshots because of RFF's known-suboptimal CSS link formatting, or did you really not attach them?

EDIT: OK, they're there now.

 

[Sparrow]

Well that’s OK then, time for a nap I think……now where did I put the stick
