    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:

    sorry dot com shanX macho:(

    Yes, even Broadband ppl have told me forum shows 503 error all the while - sever overload, mehemama giyoth sorry dot com thama :lol:
    Yes. I've faced this problem a lot. Neon_White, who's in Aus, has been getting this problem more than I, so it's not a problem with SLT. The server needs some pitying!!! :D

    I'm on dialup too, i don’t think its extremely slower than ADSL when it comes to browsing the forum. Dialup really feels slower when downloading files. (I am talking about elakiri site only)
    I dont think adding RSS to threads will help you alot coz RSS only give headers or small amount of info, most of the time you will have to visit the site to get the idea about whats going on inside the thread. Anyway i'll think about it in Beta 3.

    About the server load issue i dont think it'll make any big difference, coz only few ppl will use the RSS to read the threads and i really dont think its a practical way to check fast updating forum with RSS. so you will most probably will not gain what you imagine with it.

    Other thing we already have AJAX technology in the forum. You can see when you quick post, edit posts, etc.. it never reload/refresh the page, it updates without refreshing or reloading. So really suitable for dialup users and for fast conversations etc.. :yes:

    I am really sorry about the server load issue, no RSS can help it.. only more powerful server will do :yes: Anyway we are having some financial problems, got to find some ways to overcome these problems.. anyway stay tuned..

    Yeah I know. But It's only used @ quick reply, but it is very useful, but its functionality is limited. If you could modify the forum's thread template to show updated posts with a Refresh thread button using AJAX (I guess there might be plugins out there), it would be the ultimate solution for Dial-up users (and sometimes server load issue) :yes: But I agree, it would be a hardwork :yes:
