Scot Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Just a quick note that I'm testing the RSS feeds again. They have been turned off since right before our move to IX in early April. If turning them back on hurts our performance in any way, I will turn them off again.If you use them, please report any issues you come across.Thanks,-- Scot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havnblast Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I've been using RSS feeds the entire time from the forum here and they were never down.http://kjsservices.com/rss.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scot Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 Not sure about that. I just turned them off again, and your link is throwing off an error. They were turned off. I turned them on yesterday. I turned them off today again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merja Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I can't see the RSS feeds in my Firefox browser. I get only the message: Live Bookmark feed failed to load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scot Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 Kelly, could you pass me the links you're using there? Or a couple of them anyway?Also, I've turned the RSS feeds back on. They should work in most RSS readers and services now. -- Scot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scot Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 Hi, Kelly. I'm glad you posted about this. It turns out that I had an older version of the IPB rss mechanism enabled (the one that uses ssi.php). In the newer versions, that's no longer used. So I have disabled this older mechanism. I'll PM this to you too, but for your page that uses SNF feeds, these are the feed URLs you need:All Things Linux - Scot's Newsletter Forumshttp://forums.scotsnewsletter.com/index.ph...rssout&id=5All Things Windows - Scot's Newsletter Forumshttp://forums.scotsnewsletter.com/index.ph...rssout&id=2All Things Mac - Scot's Newsletter Forumshttp://forums.scotsnewsletter.com/index.ph...rssout&id=6Browser & Email Central - Scot's Newsletter Forumshttp://forums.scotsnewsletter.com/index.ph...rssout&id=3-- Scot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merja Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 (edited) These last links Scot gave seem to work for Firefox Live Bookmarks, too. Thanks! Edited August 14, 2006 by merja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scot Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 Just to be clear, the official RSS links haven't changed in well over a year (other than having been turned off and on a few times). They're available from the RSS button in the lower left corner of every page on the forums. When you click that button, you get a drop down showing you all the available feeds.An old post of mine on the forums -- from before this forums software had that RSS button -- had a list of somewhat experimental RSS feeds. They were derived from instructions from the forum's makers. I never went back and deleted the file that supported the old links because I thought that would have been taken care of by the forum software install. And I forgot about the old post in which I'd offered those links.When Kelly showed me that he had feeds from our board on his website, when our feeds were down, I knew there was a problem. And performance does feel a bit better on the board since I made that change.-- Scot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scot Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 Forum performance has been much better since we discovered there were two versions of RSS feeds running, and we eliminated one of them. As a result, I have today enabled the "Main SNF Feed," which is the most resource intensive of the feeds. It aggregates all the forums.Please reply here if you notice any issues.-- Scot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
