DSLRUsers.com

Nnnnsic, I am having probs with setting up the RSS feed. When I put the URL in the manage subsription box it just hangs when it is trying to confirm the feed. It doesnt time out. I played 3 games of patience while I was waiting. BTW the URL is http://forum.d70users.com, isn't it?

Hi Meicw

I am using Thunderbird with no problems. The feed link you need to use is: http://forum.d70users.com/indexrss.php

Let me know if you need further assistance.


Cheers

Thanks Kristine. Adding '/indexrss.php' did the trick.

It certainly does. On the front page, in the section that gives you your personal user information. It's the "XML" one.

Right click on the icon, select "save link location" or whatever seems most similar to that.

In T'bird, go and create a new account - make it an rss feed type of account. Complete the rest of the bs, and save it. Then go back in to properties and add the link location that you've saved.

Being a complete T'bird newbie, it took me less than 5 minutes to install it, have it set up to my email in, plus the rss from D70. IOW, it's easy .

Genji,

There are two RSS feed icons that I've seen so far.

Some of them have a little box that says "RSS" () and some have that little feed icon they stick in your actual browser (), but most sites I've seen use the little box with XML in it like this one:

thanks gstark
I didnt notice the rss feed option when setting up my email account. Now I can pretend to be doing work, while reading this forum!

I've used this type of RSS feed before, BuT not in this context

thanks Nnnnsic, yeah i was refering to the second type in my post.

I use Firefox and an extension called Sage. Works fine.
