Ok this may seem a bit harsh but... o and an RSS Subscribed Feed!

If you gonna be that rude to a holiday please skip the 'xmas' and just say shop. Mind you the true name is 'christmas,' regardless of believes.

But I got another suggestion...

Can you add a posibility to export an RSS Feed from your subscriptions? So I can log into gmail/outlook and see who posted on my thread or replied to a comment of mine.

It would have to be a php/dynamic RSS feed generated by individual topic subscriptions. I'd really like to see that. I'm sure your database can do that with less work then say mine.

, or see wikipedia for an explanation, or read through this thread

Good idea on the RSS thread feed though.

Firstly, it's just a christmas shop, and it's xmas to keep things short (very political thread about this in the cafe).

Secondly. that sounds like a good idea, but I don't know if it's doable unless there is some plugin you know of?

Well these pages I believe are on a database, all the dev staff would have to do is make like a php linking. EG. webforumz.com/cool/rss/?topic=62972-ok-this-may-seem-a-bit&form=webforumz-suggestions-and-feedback&parse=RSS2.0&SmartSense=Can01-4e

or what ever. The point is after knowing all the specifications a php can build a xml RSS document based on the newest info. Yahoo does a similar thing, as well as MSN. I don't know a forum that offers this, but It is an awesome Idea I think!

It doesn't; I was just taking the piss.

Jacob's explanation is correct.

TheSealPortalTeam · Dec 5th, 2007, 19:41

? Not going to ask. :!

I believe this 'RSS Feed' could work. It might take a couple of days to perfect tho.

alexgeek · Dec 5th, 2007, 19:45

Couple of days? Unlikely.
All our developers, myself included are busy on another system at the moment anyway.

I've done work with dynamic XML before. (not php ASPX.) It may seem overwhelming, but its really simplistic. By my point-of-view anyway.

Does that imply your considering this addition?

alexgeek · Dec 5th, 2007, 20:12

This is Rob / Jacob's decision.

Well, this does sound like a nice addition. I will bring this up in our next staff meeting, which should be sometime this week? Anyway, I get back to this thread then.

Thanks, Jacob Huag.

Tell the staff that I appreciate their work!

Looking forward to hear from you.
