Default RSS Feeds now available

For those who might find it useful (and know what it is), we've switched on the Board's RSS feed.

You can call the feed via:

http://yssyforum.net/board/external.php?type=rss (RSS)
http://yssyforum.net/board/external.php?type=rss1 (RSS 1.0)
http://yssyforum.net/board/external.php?type=rss2 (RSS 2.0)

You can call specific forums by adding the switch &forumids=1,2,3 . In this case, forum numbers 1, 2 and 3 will be fed. You can find out the 'number' of each forum by mousing over the main forum link, and noting the number at the end of the URL (eg. http://yssyforum.net/board/forumdisplay.php?f=2 ).

For example, http://yssyforum.net/board/external....2&forumids=4,8 will feed 'International Industry' and 'Spotting & Movements'. Change 'rss2' to 'rss1' or 'rss' as required.

By adding the switch &lastpost=true , threads will be returned in descending order based on the date of the last post of the thread. Description information will be returned from the last post of the thread.

Eg. http://yssyforum.net/board/external....&lastpost=true

And there endeth our technical support on the RSS function (and the sum total of my limited knowledge of the subject). Please PM me if you experience any bugs, or have any suggestions.

Cheers, Will
