    Lightning [:lightning] CBRWorld Tip 8 - All the fuss about RSS Feeds

    Don't let the achronyms fool you, this is actually a very useful feature. Basically you can have a software checking the forums regularly to check for new posts without having to open your browser once. You cal also view the posts from the software.



    If it detects a new post, it can notify you with a "MSN Messenger" style popup.



    Many other features too.
     
    Try it:

    1) Download and install SharpReader from http://www.sharpreader.net/ (it's free). Any other RSS reader software should work too.

    2) Click on the little XML icon at the bottom right hand corner of the forum(s) you wish to get on your RSS reader: View as RSS news feed in XML

    3) You should see the browser window full of characters (it's XML). Copy the link on the browser address bar (General Chat forum is http://cbrworld.net/rss.aspx?ForumID=14&Mode=0) and insert it as a new RSS feed in your the RSS reader.

    That's it !

    You can configure settings in your RSS reader such as filter by expressoins, interval to check for new posts, etc... But that's for you to discover now :)
