Dangerzone Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 To DCS Forum administrators... At present I (along with numerous others) are finding this forum is extremely difficult to navigate through the latest topics. It's my understanding that this is a work in progress and (hopefully) we will have some of our basic but essential features available to us such as a " New Posts" summary in due time. However, in the mean time - can you please activate RSS feeds for this forum. While it's not a direct solution for what we're missing - it should be a simple configuration to change that will greatly assist us in being able to look through latest posts while waiting for larger changes to the forum.
Bailey Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 Funny, because I read your post on a RSS Feeder :D But unfortunately, it seems that the DCS Forums only feed new topics instead of new posts. I, too, would like to see new post feeds.

I've tried the following with no success: http://forums.eagle.ru/forums/external.php http://forums.eagle.ru/forums/external.php?type=rss2 http://forums.eagle.ru/external.php http://forums.eagle.ru/external.php?type=rss https://forums.eagle.ru/forums/external.php https://forums.eagle.ru/forums/external.php?type=rss2 https://forums.eagle.ru/external.php https://forums.eagle.ru/external.php?type=rss ... and none work. They all default back to the main page. I tried searching for RSS feeds and only found posts with requests - no actual reference to the actual links which made me think there wasn't any RSS available at all. Even if it only shows new topics - that at least would be something better than the way the current web version works. Thanks!

I just pasted the main forum link into the box is asks for. Looking at the settings it looks like it grabbed this RSS link. https://forums.eagle.ru/external?type=rss2 I hope that helps. 1 DCS VoiceAttack Profiles | My Mods and Utilities on ED User Files | DiCE: DCS Integrated Countermeasure Editor DCS Update Witching Utility | DCS-ExportScripts for Stream Deck Community Github Library | Kiowa Integrated Overlays
Dangerzone Posted October 26, 2020 Author Posted October 26, 2020 Thanks for that. using the link you provided I can get RSS to work, but it only gives me the 10 latest results. It doesn't look like this is going to work as a 'workaround' to the problem of seeing new posts after all. :(

I feel like it’s an attempt to get ppl away from the computer :D DCS VoiceAttack Profiles | My Mods and Utilities on ED User Files | DiCE: DCS Integrated Countermeasure Editor DCS Update Witching Utility | DCS-ExportScripts for Stream Deck Community Github Library | Kiowa Integrated Overlays
Dangerzone Posted October 26, 2020 Author Posted October 26, 2020 No such luck. Still only 10 posts showing in RSS. Looks like they've made it impossible to view the most recent posts over the last 24hrs. RSS only gives the last 10 new topics created, and when viewing "Latest activity" the 'Show more' button only shows twice and then disappears meaning that using that method you can only view a maximum of the last 30 posts made period. Thanks anyway.
Bailey Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 Try "RSS Feed Reader". I get good results with that one too.
