A potentially awesome idea.

The forum in which to talk about the forums. A good place for suggestions or gripes.

Okay.

Here's what we're gonna go.

Not we're.

I don't know who would really do it.

Okay.

We make an RSS feed for this crazy My Yahoo BETA thing that I have fallen in love with.

Follow me now, it'll show me when there are now posts in each forum and when clicked, it will show me the topic titles.

THEN.

If I click yet a second time, it will send me to the threads page.

...yeah

Station can set an RSS feed for you to use on your bookmarks.

Yes, everyone observe that there are now RSS links at the bottom of pages, and in your URL bar if you have a browser that does that. Here are some further customization options that can be added to the end of http://taiyedbrodels.com/forum/rss.php? :

## f=x - forum id. Use data only from this forum to output RSS.
## t=1 - only new topics (first messages in topic). Default - 0.
## c=x - feed items count. If omitted, the value of DEFAULT_ITEMS constant (defined in mod's code) will be used. Admin can limit the maximal possible value of x by setting MAX_ITEMS constant at the beginning of mod's code.
## topic=x - view topic 'x' only
## nolimit - turn off "If-Modified-Since" record limit (by default)
## atom - generate atom 0.3 feed instead of rss 2.0
## login - turn WWW-Authenticate on. May not work on some hosts.
## uid=x - set user id for WWW-Authenticate. Use it instead of "login" for Opera or Mozilla for cyrillic nicknames. You could than use any text for login but correct password in dialog box.
## Examples of Usage and Syntax:
## rss.php
## Last 25 or less messages from public forums
## rss.php?login&atom
## Last 25 records from allowed forums in Atom 0.3 format
## rss.php?login&f=1&c=10
## Last 10 records from private forum number 1

basically, if you want to see new topics in the rss feed, use the following URL:

http://taiyedbrodels.com/forum/rss.php?t=1

too see all new posts in the feed, use this URL:

http://taiyedbrodels.com/forum/rss.php?t=0

on top of that, you can set it to show you posts/topics from a specific forum only, or a specific thread even. For example, to see all new threads in the music forum, you would use:

http://taiyedbrodels.com/forum/rss.php?t=1&f=3

for all new posts in the Sports forum:

http://taiyedbrodels.com/forum/rss.php?t=0&f=9

you can find the forum number by going to the forum and looking at the end of the URL.
