Are there any plans to enable the RSS features in vBulletin for the TUG BBS? It looks like they are currently disabled and I was hoping to use them.

Frankly, I haven't looked into this yet. I expect this will be added in the near future.geoffb said:Are there any plans to enable the RSS features in vBulletin for the TUG BBS? It looks like they are currently disabled and I was hoping to use them.

Yep. I tried using it as a live bookmark in Firefox, but, as you say, it's only 15 posts deep.Makai Guy said:I turned this on quite some time ago, but I can't see that I ever posted an announcement about it.
Looks to me that vBulletin's RSS implementation isn't all that great. Just notifies you of the most recent 15 posts. That might be great on a small board without many posts, but here, it's nearly useless.

The feed address is:
http://www.tugbbs.com/forums/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=123
where the forum ID corresponds to the forum desired. ie. Mariott is 29.
From what I can tell, it's not implemented on TUG.

RSS info from bbs FAQs. For those of you who haven't discovered the FAQ section yet, there's a link to it in the blue navigation bar near the top of the page. A search for RSS found this link.
