Hi,

you can now monitor what's going on in the iambic Forums from your favorite RSS reader (my yahoo, newsgator, feedburner, etc...), just add a custom feed pointing to:

http://support.iambic.com/forum/external.php

Below a sample result grabbed from google's "Personalized Home" which supports custom feeds.

I really like the option to use either the mobile version of the forums, or the new RSS feed. The RSS feed seems to work quite well with quicknews (on the Treo).

I was actually going to suggest a feature request to allow us the option to have the RSS feed point to the mobile forums for those times I use it with a mobile device like the Treo. However, I just realized that (on the treo) after I go to the mobile forums once (through blazer) from then on, the rss feed will always take me to the mobile version of the forum thread (which in this case is a nice bonus).

Sorry, Kleinias but
where can I find the mobile version of the forums?

davidDavid, the link to the mobile version is: http://mobileforums.iambic.com

One caveat though, if you try this out on your laptop/desktop, your browser will then default to always taking you to the mobile version of the forum (instead of taking you to the normal version). The simple solution is to then just logout and delete your cookies to get things back to normal.

Is there also a way just to show the mobile forums in Agendus for Palm.
So I could use it with plucker and sunrise to show only the AGP palm forum.
For this is tooo big for sunrise. I'm in updating progress and he is at 4% after
converting ca. 3-4 min ;(

regards
David

Adriano, is it right, that the rss feed contains only new threads?

I would prefer to also have the threads with new posts in the feed.
Because now I'm having the new threads in the feed but still have to check 'New Posts' on the forum web site.

How do you others handle this?
