RSS Feeds

[EvilBetty]

Are RSS feeds available for these forums?  If so where can I find the feeds / url's?

Ok, I'm suspecting no RSS feed ability with phpBB.  Is there any other way to subscribe to the forums to be notified when there is ANY new post or reply?

It's easier for me to read as they come in then comb the forum for new posts.

At the bottom of the thread, under the blue 'New Topic' and ' Post Reply' buttons, there is a link in small gray text that reads 'Watch This Topic For Replies'.  Click that and you should receive e-mail alerts about new replies in that topic.

I've thought of hacking in a RSS feed. The problem is the stuff I've seen sucks.  Check the RSS feed on ADVrider.com.  It's a single feed that syndacates every post.  With the number of posts they get, that seems kind of nuts.

I may still do something at some point, but right now I as bit preoccupied with school crap.

I can verify that the 'Watch This Topic' option does work.  I clicked it to test it and got an e-mail alert when Abruzzi made his post above.

Oh yes, the individual topic subscription works fine.  I have it on by default.

I was looking for a way to subscribe to some or all of the forums... I think Geof knows what I'm looking for.

I've never tried to make it work on phpbb.  Never really played with it till I switch our servers over to vBulletin.

Oh well :)  Thanks!

Ultimately it wouldn't be too hard to code, the biggest problem is wether to learn to write a phpBB module, which looks to be a bit of a pain, or bypass phpBB and go direct to the database.  That would be easy, but it would raise two issues, interpreting the bbcode myself, and integrating the system with the already viewed thing in phpBB.  

I've written RSS syndicators before, so I've got code I could steal somewhere...
