#1863 Forum RSS feed

dobesv Tue 27 Mar 2012

One quibble I have with the forum RSS feed is that when I read it in Google Reader I get the posts in reverse chronological order. I'm not sure why exactly that is ... but it isn't what I normally see so I think it's something about your feed in particular.

Of course, it's possible I'm the only using the RSS feed to remind me to follow up on threads I've posted on in the forum, so it may not be worth a lot of effort to fix. If the source code is out there I could try and tweak it myself if given a few pointers.

Some other possible feature requests:

  • Daily summary instead of individual posts
  • Possibly the daily summary is one entry per thread that was updated rather than for the whole forum.
  • Subscribe only to threads that I have participated in

Routing the RSS feeds through feedburner would allow an email subscribtion for those who prefer that.

I'm sure a bug in my code ;) The new Sidewalk has a bit more robust feed, which we'll pick up when we upgrade this site. A daily digest feed sounds like a cool idea. I doubt we'll add per-user feeds though.
