Are RSS feeds available for this site? If not, anything in the future?

Thanks,
Shaun

what's the purpose of the RSS feed, how does it work?

I never thought they were really anything special, but they can be incorporated if there is enough demand.

it's a feature built into internet explorer (and Outlook 2007) and stand-alone RSS reader programs. It would populate new messages automatically w/o having to monitor the site.

I'd love to see this feature enabled. Not sure what is involved logistically, but it lets me keep up with other forums much easier.

I'm hopelessly addicted to google reader... so RSS would.... be cool!

I agree, RSS is extremely useful. I visit sites that have it much more often than sites that don't. It's also a great way to get the content of a site out and available on the web in a standard format that can be easily incorporated and shared by other sites.

Mr. Admin, what's the next step? Is it as simple as flipping a switch?

Don't I wish.
When I get time it will happen.

ok so maybe I'm not with it, but what's an RSS feed and how does it work. Or I should say, how would I use it? thanks.

(I only recently figured out torrents, and its not like I'm old or anything)

Thanks, already did the research. Why ask questions when we can usually find out the answers ourselves? Mostly because its easier I guess. And I also think RSS would be an awesome thing to have for this site.

erm. I was reading the FAQ for this forum and I found this:

Where can I find the RSS feed? The administrator may have enabled RSS syndication, this allows you to view newly created threads in guest viewable forums without visiting the board.
The feeds are currently provided in two formats, RSS and RSS v2. The differences are as follows:

RSS 0.91 - This feed is based on a standard written by netscape and provides a link and the title of the thread.
http://www.m42club.com/forums/external.php?type=rss
RSS 2.0 - This feed contains title, author, date and the contents of the first post of the thread.
http://www.m42club.com/forums/external.php?type=rss2
To add this to MyYahoo click here.
The forums to which this applies can also be limited to specific guest viewable forums by adding another parameter to the URL containing the forumids as follows:
http://www.m42club.com/forums/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=123

If you would like the content to be generated for multiple forums you can separate the forumids by commas.

Does this work?
