We've given all registered users an RSS feed to use if they want to.
Look by your profile section on this front page and you'll see "that" orange XML button... just copy the link from that into your RSS reader and you'll start getting the new posts from this forum.

My personal suggestion for a news reader, if you don't have one, is Mozilla Thunderbird, especially if you don't have a good email program.

Enjoy. :)

I've been backing up and cleaning out my system today. Made the switch from Opera v7.1 to Firefox. And now having Thunderbird d/l'ing.... can't wait to get this RSS feed functionality happening. Thanx for looking out for us users, admins. ;)

The older I get, the more I hate re-learning. ;)

I have an RSS reader running on my Pocket PC, which means when I'm at work I can see the messages coming through :)

Very happy!

Also, very addicted!

...had to find someway to keep up with all the posts!
