Muvipix RSS feed

[Jayell]

I'm assuming this should be directed to Ron (or anyone who understands how this works).

When I click on the RSS feed symbol from inside the Forum, it only lists about 10 topics (which I confirmed are the only topics that are sent to my RSS reader). Why those particular ones? When I click on it from some of the other Muvipix menu options, there's ONE Forum topic. I'm at a complete loss as to how this works (which isn't saying much, since I have zero understanding of RSS feeds). I would be most grateful if someone could add to my limited knowledge.

The current RSS Feed is keeping the Announcements and Stickies as priorities (those are the ones you don't see changing).

I'm thinking of changing it to only new posted topics.

[Jayell]

But I've also gotten some from the Water Cooler, Tools, and Computer Issues. Does it somehow also add those that we've participated in? When YOU click on the RSS feeds should you see the same topics I do?

[Ron]

Aside from Announcements and Stickies, the next few you see in the feed are newest to oldest topics posted. I'll change it to just the newest topics posted tomorrow, going to get some shuteye

[Ron]

Try the RSS Feed now. Shows only the latest 10 topics posted at any given moment. No announcements, stickies or moved topics included.

Thanks, Ron .. and for helping me understand how this was working. It was making me crazy trying to figure out what it was doing.

Thanks Ron! It's working!

That is great. Never used rss feed before. Just linked it up to my outlook. Great way to keep abreast of what is going on.

Do you need a special reader for RSS?

I just read about it on Wikipedia and would like to try it out.

Thanks

My MS outlook suscribes to it ok but I am using Office 2007. There are some rss readers out there but not sure what is a good one. Maybe someone in here has some good recommendations.

[Wheat King]

RSS Feed dosen't seem to be working. Is anyone else having problems? Maybe it something in my reader.

[Ron]

What are the symptoms? It's working fine for me. Just may well be your reader.

[hpharley90]

Wheat King. What reader do you use.
I downloaded one the other day and I was getting all sorts of news from every where.
I don't know how to use it so I just unistalled till I could get a recommendation from someone on a reader that they use.

Thanks
Rich

Ron, Rich
I'm thinking it might be my reader then. The symptoms are that the display simply seemed static because I would I would see new updates on the forum not showing up in the reader and sometimes I would see information temorarily not available.

I'm using Google personalized page as my reader you can subscribe and organize your feeds. But I've recently decided to start using Firefox (at home) because IE was constantly crashing on me and I am going to investigate if there's any good firefox extensions for readers. I'll let you know what I found out. If you guys have any recommendations on any type of readers I'll take em!

I'm using the RSS reader that comes with Thunderbird, but I agree that I get some posts, but when I go to the Website and ask for all the posts since my last visit I get things that never showed up in the reader.

Should e-v-e-r-y posting come through the reader, Ron? .. assuming we're pulling them down often enough to exceed the number you're feeding?
