... Xltronic's Messageboard RSS-feed? y/n/why |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
n because there never was any news, plus I removed that rss plugin for firefox because it was sillying stuff up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no... actually, i don't even know what a rss-feed is. is it something that warns you when there are new updates on the site? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
n I dont find the need to use RSS. |
||||||||
|

i don't know what rss is. |

y/n: Yes why: To keep up to date with the latest spam by i_x_ten |

Drunken: Xltronic's Messageboard RSS-feed is updated like 20 times per day. I highly recommend an external RSS-reader. Try: |

Nope. I just don't need to do it to keep abreast of what's happening. However, I would like feeds for each thread so that if I'm waiting for a reply then I can either create a live bookmark in Firefox or add it to Feed Demon. Seeing sa clicking the orange thing in Firefox 2 adds it to Feed Demon probably that. I still have the Podcast and news feeds though. |

I never got anything, but I only had it when you first set it up.. and I don't like external things.. I've pretty much set my firefox up so that I don't even need windows for anything but running firefox... I wish I could embed acid pro and proper regular filebrowsing in it.. actually, I wish firefox was my OS. |

It's quite clumsy to use Firefox's extension for RSS-feeds. Even 3rd party extensions are way behind a dedicated external solution. It's kinda neat to get a small notification in the lower-right hand corner with new topic-titles from the messageboard. to get a larger view of the FeedReader screenshot below. |

yes - you can read the first sentences of a topic, that's nice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Phobiazero: What would that be used for, i dont understand... Like avart said, "you can read the first sentences of a topic"..... Cant I just click in the thread for that ? Am I missing something. |
||||||||
|
|

the main point is to get a small notification for each new topic, while you're doing other stuff on your computer. you can surf other websites or do some wordprocessing, whatever.. and each time a new topic is created over at xltronic, you'll get instant notifications. the screenshot above just shows the main application interface for FeedReader. you can add more rss-channels from other websites as well, of course, and thereby increase the actual use from it. stay tuned on what's going on, without actually visiting each website. let the information come to you, not the other way around. well, try it... nothing to lose. get yourself an opinion. i will gladly help you.... thad. |

Awww shucks, I made a friend today :) Ok I get the idea now, but believe me. THERE ARE TONS OF TOPICS HERE I Dont want to be notified of them being started. Do you want me to rattle of 20 people here, who only start shite topics all the time ? (yes ive created a few crappy threads over the past 7-8+ years, but its all in good fun, the people here are great and the music news is outstanding) Thanks though for the detailed explanation. |

i only signed up to find out what an rss feed actually does, and the answer would seem to be not an awful lot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've never really used RSS feeds, but I guess I could get into it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no. i don't know what it is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

rread fourr posts up mate |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't. I just haven't really gotten into reading rss yet. I only subscribe to like 2 or 3, and I use live bookmarks for them. However, I just noticed that has gotten a lot better recently and I'll add xlt to that. |
||||||||
|

|
|
I have 151 it seems. RSS feeds that is. Ridiculous. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, because I'm not exactly afraid of 'missing a thread' or something. I visit the board now and then, read what's up for offer at the time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
n because i don't give a shit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, that's surprising. since you're a moderator, subscribing to the rss-feed should be mandatory, to get alerted on nasty topics. ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, just to see what does it feed. i don't have a habit to read RSS so the sidebar is usually closed and I even forget that i have it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nice link. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
isn't that almost what you get by just using the firefox live bookmarks? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay, thanks for the explanation... i don't think i will use it though. i just have to click a single button to get to the xltronic messageboard and i see the new topics this way; i don't want to be alerted every time a new topic is created, it would get on my nerves. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
drunken: not really |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...but my RSS-reader (safari in os x) says there is only 12 new topics today? (at 14:26?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've just installed the whole thing. I'll see if I get used with it or not. |

My vote : Ban Qrter |

No. I don't really see the point, it looks like you just get the messageboard with a different interface |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
instant notification of new threads on zilty. sounds like the kind of thing that'd drive a perfectly sane man mad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no cus i could probably be a human rss service. |
