Post by: Mnemonic on July 17, 2004, 01:35:00 PM
This forum provides an RSS feed (what is RSS feed? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_%28file_format%29)), which means you can be automatically notified of new posts.


This default URL will return five most recent forum posts:
http://forum.dead-code.org/index.php?action=.xml;type=rss;sa=recent


You can change the number of posts by specifying the "limit" parameter:
http://forum.dead-code.org/index.php?action=.xml;type=rss;sa=recent;limit=10


Also, you can limit the feed to a specified forum secion only using the "board" parameter:
http://forum.dead-code.org/index.php?action=.xml;type=rss;sa=recent;board=8
(you can find the board numbers by examining the section links on the forum main page)


There are numerous RSS clients available. For example FeedReader (http://www.feedreader.com/):
