hello all,
does this forum has an RSS-feed?
Cheers! Frank

[Joan Fabre]

Yes, you can use this URL

https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/XML_new_posts.php

which gives you the last 5 messages posted in RSS protocol..

thanks
but sorry, does not work in neither Bloglines, neither Google Reader
"No feeds were found. Please verify that the website publishes an RSS feed."
cheers!

Estrange, I've checked it with Google reader just now, and it works.

Anyway It's a beta version rss feeder we only have checked it using mozilla's reader, so it may be something wrong with it. I'll put in my task list to review it and make it ready to all the feed readers.

you'll be informed.

[str4hler]

yep, works now
thanks ;-)
I think Google and Bloglines had a temporary problem
cheers!

https://www.foro-minerales.com/forum/XML_new_posts.php

Hello Joan,

The feed works fine with Firefox 3.0.

Great.

A small trick: if you don't want to loose any message, it is better to use the following URL to load the feed::

English forum: https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/XML_new_posts.php?items=25

Spanish forum: https://www.foro-minerales.com/forum/XML_new_posts.php?items=25

You will get the last 25 messages instead of just the last 5

enjoy it.

Joan

Ho Joan,
5 works just as fine as 25
because all online RSS-readers remember the older fetches ;-)
thanks, cheers!

[Joan Fabre]

Yes, but in the spanish forum, by instance, sometimes it could be more than 5 messages in some minutes, and some online feed readers are not cheking for new messages so often, it's more sure to configure it with 25 messages if you don't want to loose anything..

Regards

cheers!
