Jack M Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Did you know that BomberOnline's forums have RSS feeds? Yup! (info here) And now those clever folks at Google have figured out how to have that pipe into a "gadget" on your Google homepage. Then your page will show a preview of the latest posts in the BOL forums, like this: So, if you want this, click this button below to add the BOL gadget to your Google homepage: <a href="http://fusion.google.com/add?feedurl=http%3A//www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/external.php%3Ftype%3Drss2"><img src="http://buttons.googlesyndication.com/fusion/add.gif" width="104" height="17" border="0" alt="Add to Google"></a> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpalka Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 What I've been using for a while now, as I mentioned in this thread is: http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/external.php?type=RSS2 tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_x Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 When I click that link I get " This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below." I am using Wizz RSS for Firefox. Maybe I should try a new RSS program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpalka Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 When I click that link I probably shouldn't have pasted a link into the message, it shouldn't do much when clicked. You want to paste that link into your RSS reader when adding a feed. Not familiar with your particular RSS reader... tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
