new site: awesome. rss: pretty cool. i'm wondering what kind of rss options there are (if any). like, is there an rss feed that shows just "new to me" posts, or "today's posts"? i looked at the feed that firefox automatically picked up and i wasn't sure which kind it was.

The RSS feeds are a great idea, but the short form (Title only) and the long form (from, date/time, which forum and a Read more link) are practically the same. Would it be possible to tweak the long one to include a few lines of text so the slider would have some meaning (and super short posts would actually be readable via RSS instead of having to visit the forum for every thread (thus obviating the value of an RSS feed in lowering traffic for simple replies)?
Otherwise, cool. |

Why have it? Well, some people just love their RSS. I'm not one of them, but I do understand the appeal. This RSS feed does act like the View Today's "This Week's" Posts link and, since it's RSS, people can monitor updates in the same RSS-reader that they use to monitor news sites and blogs and such.

Just to add to the chorus of approval, the RSS is cool. A job well done.

In Safari or Firefox, there should be an icon for it.

why would cookies be necessary: couldnt a person's UID be included in the URL? or is that some kind of security violation? maybe we could use a guid instead?

Thanks. Since I don't use the New and Improved Spiffy Safari, RSS feeds don't magically show up. I do however use RSS Menu, but you have to manually cut-and-paste the address.
