Hi,

Interesting idea. If anyone reading this is a phpbb maven who is comfortable adding an rss mod to phpbb, please get in touch (support@sonnysoftware.com).

Thanks,

Jon

Please consider implementing this feature in order to get all the news. It may be easy.

I just tested with an RSS reader (Vienna) and it seemed to work as advertized...

Hi – can someone please explain how to access the feed?

I have a few Readers on my Mac –– but am used to looking for the RSS icon, and importing the feed through there.
Not seeing anything – how is ATOM different?

Many thanks!

I tried the Vienna RSS reader. It asked for the URL, which I provided as (without the quote marks)

"feed.php"

That worked for me.

That is correct. Use with a browser Feedly or (better) Inoreader. You do not need a dedicated rss reader.
