Just experimenting with this one after some requests in the special place. Point your RSS reader / google.co.uk/ig etc. at the following URL -

http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/rssnew.php

Currently carrying new threads. Update time is a bit slow so you will notice a delay in the titles. If that trial looks OK I'll add more feeds in the future.

Does Firefox have an inbuilt RSS reader? I can never seem to get these things to work.

Certainly, although I'm not well up on it myself, just looked at another few feeds and made mine look the same. It behaved a bit strange only allowing me three items for a bit, and now doesn't appear to be updating, so I don't think its entirely right, but getting to that stage wasn't hard.

Might be some discussion to be had in your project about latency etc. as there's a TTL setting in there so it doesn't take the feed again every time, plus there are special chars I've had to remove from the thread titles as well.

I know quite a bit about XML already so hopefully shouldnt be too tricky

Some people asked for this so I did it. If you need to know about RSS and all what it can do you, read this.

You mean it doesn't read it?

They need work - they're too slow for a start.

Just wanted to top this to ask a question

Anyone with a Sony Ericsson K800i will know that in the messages section you have an RSS reader

So am I right in thinking that you could put the Cs details into this & check for updates on the go? (If your phone has full internet access that is)

Also in terms of setting it up do you just put the web addy in the reader & check for updates whevever you want?

Just add new RSs feed & then put in that addy
