Subscriptions feed

[ichaelm]

I was just thinking that it would be pretty cool that instead of getting a whole bunch of email notifications for subscribed threads, we could get some kind of RSS feed instead. I have no idea what kind of work might be involved in implementing this though, but i just thought of it and thought it would be a kinda cool feature.

There would be two ways to do it that I can think of. Either there would be an RSS feed for each thread, and you would subscribe to all the ones you wanted to monitor with an feed-reader, or you could have everyone get their own RSS feed for all their subscribed threads. The first one makes a lot more sense to me.

My inbox gets clogged with notifications all the time and it gets kinda annoying. This is what feeds are for!

Or you can just use the built-in filters in GMail or whatever mail provider you use.

EDIT: Unless you create a separate RSS for each thread, I don't see any way to group multiple threads into one RSS unless each one is custom-made.

Theres a way to turn of email notifications under the User Control Panel, but that is a pretty cool idea.

Yes, i can turn off email notifications, but i still want to be notified!!

I just enabled the built in RSS feed stuff, but I have yet to actually find where any of it is now that it is supposedly there...so if you happen to see it, give a shout, lol

That's for everything though.

Yeah, but supposedly it should show up for individual topics and forums too. So I''ll see if I can figure out why it isn't >.>

Err, our forum skin's header doesn't show the meta tag for it. For now, you can slap an query string on feed.php and it will work as you want it to: http://scioly.org/phpBB3/feed.php?f=66&t=1258
