And I just added the RSS Available on the right side of the forums index, under all the statistics.

I think we're one of the first forums to offer syndicated content.

i know we're one of the first bmw forums.

oh this is similar to the toolbar thing werkz has, yeah i kinda like that better b/c i dont liek toolbars in general, they look like spyware, and for that matter they also look like crap.. this is better... but i prolly wont use it, id rather go check the forums myself.. good option tho, ill probably DL it sooner or later

Nice, I like this thing

I thought it was cool at 1st but i think it was taking all the treads so when i got to UB.c And went to the new threads link, and none of the new ones showed up.

Wait, huh?

i'm not sure but I have safari and it got all the treads to pop up with the rss feed, but then when i came to the site (i had not clicked any from the rss) and hit new posts which usually gives me everything since I have been here last there were no new posts, so I hit up the rss feed and clicked on the threads in there and they were threads that I had not seen before (new ones). I will try again to see if i'm full of shit or this really happens.

That doesn't make any sense. haha, the RSS feed doesn't track which user is accessing it... so it can't mark anything read unless you actually click on it.

I tired it again and same thing, i had no new threads when i came here, so then i had to use the rss to find out what I missed. Does it mater that i never sign out of Ub.c? In anycase i think i;m going to stop using the rss feed for ub and just get my updates how i have been since i joined.

**Rooz** · 11-15-2005, 01:01 AM

Yeah, am trying to get this thing going because it seems like a sweet thing, but no luck so far either
