Photography Thailand Forum

[Marc Schultz]

I was wondering if anyone has been using the RSS Feed option on this Forum as I have a couple of questions on it? I know Gregoire is though and thank you again for helping me to get it setup on the Forum.

I normally use the Maxthon browser and everytime I open up the Forum in this browser I get a little box popping up in the lower right hand corner of the browser window saying that there is an RSS Feed on this web site and suggesting I could subscribe to it by clicking on the box.

I think this is what Gregoire was talking about before as a RSS Feed notification on the Forum. The icon at the bottom of the Forum page though I have not been able to figure out how to add yet.

The thing is when I click to subscribe to the RSS Feed I don't see any change occurring on the Forum or how the Forum is displayed.

Gregoire once suggested another web site which allows you to input in a bunch of RSS Feed links form various web sites to display them all for you on a single page as sort of your RSS Feed site favorites with updates.

Short of that though , I was wondering I guess if there is any other way of using an RSS Feed and other ways people might be using it?

I haven't been using it but I use Firefox, and in FF the forum shows up with a LiveBookmark icon in the title bar. I can add this live bookmark to my bookmarks list and it will apparently do some sort of auto-updating. I haven't tried that but it would seem to be available for FF users.

Thank you Chris. I came across this and thought it was also interesting somehow. According to this test there are a couple of problems with the RSS Feed it is seeing, but not sure what the actual problems are. It just does not seem to like some of the site's code:

I think you can ignore those. It works fine by me.

[Chris Savery]

Yes, you can definately ignore those for your purposes here. They are validation errors related to HTML spec. Your'e getting them because your page's doctype is XHTML 1.0 and XML spec doesn't allow html code inside a ctype element. However, I think all browsers will show this correctly anyway. This isn't caused by something you did but probably the code in SMF. No worries and not related to RSS anyway.

Thanks both of you.

Marc, I am using your RRS with Snarfer and it is working fine. I'm still finding my way around you site, but the RSS is working. It is an excellent resource and I'm enjoying exploring it. I congratulate you for your effort. Mike

Dear all,

What is the exact URL for the Photography Thailand Forum RSS feed?

I cannot find it.

Thanks,

[ThaiWorld]

I have just installed IE 7.0 and it detects automatically the RSS feed. Very convenient.

I am using "Feedreader" and it does exactly what you describe...it shows you the headlines of all your subscribed feeds in one panel.
You also can setup sub categories like "photography", "news"... and view only those.
Here is the URL http://www.feedreader.com

cheers...mrc
