Hey Guys What are your Ideas on a RSS Feed for Recent Threads in Elakiri..

GTRZ wat do you think about this.. Many people in offices might find it convenient to do so because they wont have to go to the site directly all the time to view recent threads.. There might be issues when they browse net all day ne.. he he :D

    Programs known as feed readers or aggregators can check a list of feeds on behalf of a user and display any updated articles that they find. It is common to find web feeds on major websites and many smaller ones. Some websites let people choose between RSS or Atom formatted web feeds; others offer only RSS or only Atom.

    RSS-aware programs are available for various operating systems. Client-side readers and aggregators are typically constructed as standalone programs or extensions to existing programs such as web browsers and Email readers. Many browsers have integrated support for RSS feeds. There also are other applications that can convert an RSS feed into several usenet articles, viewable through the major newsreader software such as Mozilla Thunderbird or Forté Agent.

    Web-based feed readers and news aggregators such as NewsGator Online require no software installation and make the user's "feeds" available on any computer with Web access. Some aggregators combine existing web feeds into new feeds, e.g., taking all football related items from several sports feeds and providing a new football feed. There are also search engines for content published via web feeds like Bloglines.

    On Web pages, web feeds (RSS or Atom) are typically linked with the word "Subscribe", an orange rectangle, a feed icon

    , or with the letters

    or

    . Many news aggregators such as My Yahoo![1] publish subscription buttons for use on Web pages to simplify the process of adding news feeds.

    It's a cool thing, but considering the ever-growing number of new threads, it will have a new list every half hour. Keeping track of them is not gonna be an easy task. :yes:

    I don't think it will be useful for these kind of forums since we already have latest stuff in the home page. But i don't mind of having it either. :D

    Hay thanks for the PM pata :yes:
    I can add a RSS feed to Forum but it will be so huge and very fast updating so will not really make any good advantage than visiting the normal site.
    I can add a RSS to downloads section which is a good idea, but in the same time leechers will love it, coz they will check RSS feed and only will visit the site when new downloads add. Download it and go away...
    So I am not gonna add RSS to download section. :lol:
