Not wishing to apear thick or anything, but what is a 'live bookmark'? I'm still on Firefox 0.92, I'm waiting for the final release of 1.0 before upgrading.

It looks like the update frequency on vBulletin RSS feeds is once per hour allthough I'm sure that can be changed. Looks like it gives you a list of the most recently contributed to threads, regardless of whether you've read them or not as it doesn't take your userid into account (obviously, as it's meant for external sites to use).

Michael.

 

I don't think it can, if it could it would have to write out an rss file per user.

 

I'm not sure of the usefulness of the feature in FireFox but if some other site wanted to have a list on a page of theirs of "latest topics on ZeroGain" the RSS feed would be extremely useful.

Michael.

 

Looks good and works. Well done.

 

where's this red rss (tee hee) button then?
cheers

Down load firefox 1.0 pr newbie

 

Once you're using FireFox 1.0PR a little orange box with "RSS" in it will appear in the bottom right corner in the status bar for sites that support RSS feeds and which auto "announce" them.

Michael.

 

i am using ff1.0pr and still no red rss (titter).
cheers

ahh..which "style" are you using? I only enabled it for the 2 vBulletin3 styles - not the "vBulletin Classic" style.

btw, it's orange, not red

Michael.

 

Do an help -> about and does it show :-

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

 

aha,
i'm using the classic style. that'll be it then. never mind then. this ff thing is pretty cool actually.

edit: just tried the other styles but still no red/orange arse just some sort of rosette looking indeterminate thing (to add a live link or something).
cheers

You really should try the "ZeroGain vBulletin 3 Grey Style" - I know you're a big fan of tradition but I think it looks a hell of a lot better. I'm tempted to ditch the "Classic" style in fact......

Michael.

 

nooooooo. i use a widescreen laptop for web browsing and with the classic style i can see more on the screen vertically at one time. see a solid practical reason honest.
cheers
