I was wondering if there was ever any thought into providing RSS feeds.

There could be some for new classified ads and another for new postings in your favorite area of the forums...

I love having my RSS feeder (SharpReader) provide a lil popup when a new story is posted to the gajillion websites I visit daily.
It would be cool to have the same at the very least for ads.

It wouldn't be that hard to implement :D

Thoughts?

Edit: I voted yes ;)

If Everett could implement it that would be very cool.

I do have feeds for the Classifieds but they are not as "public".
They are sort of annoying to look at, I prefer the online view.

Ohh cool!

Only thing is, I'm getting the following error msg:

Error parsing RSS XML: Not a valid xml document: This is an unexpected token. The expected token is 'WHITESPACE'. Line 1, position 63.

Works on my Firefox. I believe you are putting the .php in as the RSS feed. Click that link and you'll have a different feed for each sub-forum.

Correct

Is there any way you could make it go by topic title and not posts within a topic?

B/C one topic floods the whole feed if there are enough posts.

There would be no content since the posts are content, the titles are not.

Thanks for adding RSS for Classified Ads!
