If you're that way inclined - P8ntballer RSS Feed

[Beaker]

I (think) I've just managed to set up the RSS feed for the forum.

If you know what you're doing, the link is

http://www.p8ntballer-forums.com/vb/external.php?type=rss2

If you don't, but use iGoogle as your homepage then:

Click this link:

http://www.google.com/ig/directory?root=/ig&dpos=top

On the Left there is "Add feed or gadget"

Click that and copy and paste the link

http://www.p8ntballer-forums.com/vb/external.php?type=rss2

into the box.

Then on your homepage you *should* get a list of threads that'll update.

If you use yahoo and the like, they have similar options, just add it using that same link.

Works a treat beaker.

at least it does in bt.yahoo.com

Excellent. At the moment it shows new threads rather than posts, I'm trying to work out if it's possible to have both options so people can choose which to use.

Great Job, I was Waiting for This...

I was hoping that an RSS feed would come soon.

In good Tech dork fashion I have created a P8ntballer widget that everyone can embed into their paintball websites, myspace, etc.

To find the P8ntballer Widget please visit here and embed away all over the internet.

Best part is that if Joy Division want to embed it they can use their team colors with the animal print option.

If you correct the RSS to only be the News Posts I will correct the widget.

Thanks for that, looks good.

If you want to put a specific forum feed, you can add the forum id to the end of the rss url

http://www.p8ntballer-forums.com/vb/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=??

Where ?? is the forum ID, for News that's 21

Works well with vista's gadget sidebar RSS feeds too.

PGi Widget is updated for the News Sections.
