Enable RSS Feeds

[mbeattie]

It would be really nice to be able to subscribe to forums as an RSS feed. For me, it would make it that much easier to watch for thread activitity. It looks like the software powering this site has support for such a feature. Based on the FAQ, it just needs to be enabled.

Did this ever happen. RSS is such a powerful tool that mnay of us already use and all that has to happen is for the managers of this board to enable it

BCBB Update:

RSS To be Enabled; New LISTSERV Archives Forum to be added to bcbb

The RSS feature on the BCBB will be enabled as of Monday morning, 17 October.
What this means:

(1) With the RSS feature enabled anyone will be able to access the bcbb site via: www.bcbb.biometrics.org and will be able to view all the threads in all the forums without registering as a member with bcbb. However, in order to respond to any thread the user will first have to register with bcbb.
(2) Those of you with an RSS reader will automatically receive the lead sentences of all thread postings. You will then be able to read the entire message on the bulletin board. To post to the bb or to reply to a posting you must be a registered bcbb member.

Within a few days a new “LISTSERV Archives” forum will be added to the bcbb. Members will be able to use this forum to access LISTSERV archives. Non-members will have to complete the bcbb registration process in order to access the archives.

Fantastic.

Please don't forget to tell us where we can get the URL to subscribe to the feed in a very prominent place so that we can see it.

thank you

According to the FAQ, you can subscribe to the full-site feed using [1], and a particular forum using [2] (where 51 is replaced with the forum number of interest). I can get the first to work, but not the second.
