[closed] bug/error: You broke my google reader... grrr ;)

[Scruff]

I've been meaning to point this out since launch, not sure if anyone else has.

 

Each forum post in the RSS feed has a "Show Original Item" link. These all now get me redirected to the front page instead of the forum item which isn't all that useful.

 

Is there a seperate feed for the secondus that works correctly or is it FUBAR ?

 

*Edit* : Sorry I put it in the wrong section

What RSS URL are you using?

 

http://www.edugeek.net/forums/external.php?type=RSS2 - Will give you new threads (e.g. see a thread only when it's created)

 

http://www.edugeek.net/forums/external.php?type=RSS1 - Will give you new posts (e.g. a thread will show up everytime a new post is made in it.)

vBulletin message boards provide RSS/RSS2/XML feeds. To get the feed just add 'external.php?type=RSS2' to the URL. Replace 'RSS2' with RSS or XML depending on the format you want.

 

So for edugeek.net you'd use:

 

http://www.edugeek.net/forums/external.php?type=RSS2

 

Which gives you the same as 'newposts'. If you want to monitor one forum. Say the IT News forum for example, do something like this instead:

 

http://www.edugeek.net/forums/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=21

 

If you wanted to monitor everything in the 'fun stuff' section you'd do this instead:

 

http://www.edugeek.net/forums/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=39,40,41

Fixed now with a redirect. The old urls will work now.
