Paladin Pinion Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 The forum allows us to follow a thread and it will send us an email when a new post is made. I'd rather get those as an RSS feed. Does anyone know if that is possible, and if so, what the magic URL would be? What I'd like is a consolidated feed, not the individual ones that each thread offers.I know this post really belongs in the technology section, but there's no appropriate forum there for it.

Griffin Ceawlin Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Subscribe to a particular "board" or sub-Forum? If you go to a board's page you'll see a link to "Start a Thread" and next to that is "Board Options." One of those options is "Subscribe to RSS Feed."

Paladin Pinion Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Right, I do that now with emails since I've turned off the global setting. But what I'd really like is a consolidated feed of all the threads I've participated in without having to subscribe to each one individually. I thought there might be a magic lookup parameter or something. One of those URLs with a question mark in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Ceawlin Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Ah, I see. No way that I know of, not without subbing to each RSS feed individually from the thread's page (I imagine some people's RSS readers could get mighty crowded that way).

Luc Starsider Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 You can subscribe to feeds for individual threads. It's under the options menu in the top right of each post, or in the thread tools menu above left of the OP. I don't remember which. (Not at the viewer ATM) [EDIT] Right. I just reread your post. You want something else. I think it may be possible, but I'm not sure. Have to check... - Luc - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin Pinion Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Yeah, I've got too many feeds already. The deal is, I like to read RSS feeds on my Android tablet, and typing in a new URL for every thread using that soft keyboard is an exercise in frustration. I'm willing to do it once for a general compilation but it's too much work for a repeating thing. And copying them off a web page on a 7" tablet isn't a walk in the park either. I bet Cerise Sorbet would know, she knows the forum guts pretty well. Maybe she'll see this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Void Singer Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 you should be able to get away with tacking each thread op message id onto the url... i don't think there is an automated way to do it built into the board http://community.secondlife.com/secondlife/rss/message?board.id=GeneralDiscussionForum&message.id=####&message.id=#### Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin Pinion Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 I wonder if there's a limit on the length of a URL in an RSS feed. I could see getting up to hundreds of characters pretty quick that way. It's starting to sound like a forum feature request to me. Wherever those go...
