RSS? How? Where?

[mross]

I have decided to give RSS a try, but after wandering around LAVA quite a lot, I haven't found anyway to implement it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

This tutorial should give you a good start: http://forums.lavag.org/RSS-Feeds-for-the-...orums-t767.html

Jeff,

Thanks for the link. It boils down to go find the RSS licon and press it to get started, I think. The discussion coverd abit more than that.

I have to say though that I can't find the RSS icon to begin with. I was looking for that prior to asking for help and it is not there. I am running the current version of Firefox. Maybe I have set something that disables RSS. I will have to look.

Ah ha -- The RSS icon has moved since the tutorial was written. It's in the extreme lower left of the page -- Looks like an orange square with white waves. I attached a picture.

I'll PM Michael to update the RSS tutorial post.

In that case I'd suggest the https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/424/' target="_blank">Wizz RSS reader

It adds a pane to your browser with a tree of all sub-scribed RSS feeds.

Some interesting, are listed in the 'blogs section of LAVA.

Another cool feature is the listing of Info-LabVIEW in Gmail, i've added a info-labview label, and let Wizz RSS list that label as a seperate RSS-feed!

On the NI-forums you can have RSS feeds for every board (LabVIEW/DIADem/Breakpoint :thumbup: ) and for specific users/keywords

I am picking on it but nothing is happening.

Do you have Javascript enabled? When you click on the RSS button, a little submenu should appear showing "-All of LAVA-", but it's triggered using Javascript.

In Firefox, Tools > Options > Content > Enable Javascript

Hopefully that fixes it...

I use RSSPopper in Outlook - it's pretty cool and threads all of the forums just like emails.

The company I work for has just updated our computers to Outlook 2007. It has some nice features such as being able to group emails by conversations (similiar to gmail), and the ability to add RSS Feeds. Below is a quote from the RSS Feeds section of Outlook 2007

"How does RSS work in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007?RSS readers, such as the one built into Office Outlook 2007, allow you to subscribe to RSS Feeds and then read content or follow links for additional information. Whenever you see a link to a feed, or an RSS icon such as the one at the top of this page, just click. Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 will automatically subscribe you to that RSS Feed."

I use Google Reader

and absolutely happy with this tool.

Not to spin too far off from this topic, but has anyone else that uses thunderbird and mozilla had trouble keeping your id in thunderbird? It seems like once a week or more I move my cookies.txt file from mozilla (which has always kept me logged in) to thunderbird. I seem to have to keep doing this because somehow thunderbird will quit remembering who i am. Anyone else see this?

Are there additional RSS feeds for specific forums? The "All of LAVA" feature is nice, but I prefer to have multiple specific feeds.

I could add this. I'd like to get some feedback from others. Is this a feature I should look into?

Whoahawh.

I just have to share this:

My favorite RSS reader (Newsfox) can show the author of every message:

Now I can see what everyone writes in a glimpse.
