Subscribing to Guides

[booman]

Is there a way to subscribe to Guides so you can be notified when every new guide is published?
Kinda like an RSS feed?

There's no way I know of to subscribe to a forum, only a thread.

Dang, that should be a "must have" so our readers can automatically get a notification for the next guide.
At least that is what I would want if I was a reader.

Don't bloggers have a way to do this? I'm thinking start blogging then blog a few lines when ever you put up a new guide

I think Xenforo is an RSS feed, but how do we subscribe with a feeder?

 

[booman]

Duh, I'm so dumb!
There is an RSS feed button to the right of each Forum.
I don't use an RSS reader, but if I did, I'm sure this would subscribe for me

When you click the RSS button, you get a unique address and a bunch of code:
http://www.gamersonlinux.com/forum/forums/guides.20/index.rss
So how do I subscribe to this RSS feed?
Google discontinued there "reader"

Ah, I missed that.

If you are using Chrome, you have to install the RSS Feed Subscription Chrome Extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...tensio/nlbjncdgjeocebhnmkbbbdekmmmcbfjd?hl=en

Other browsers will have different ways of subscribing to feeds.

I use to use Thunderbird and have it do my RSS feed reading for me. It was easy to add a new feed, just get the code from the site, click the button on TB add code and done.

Exactly, I found that there is even an RSS feed for the homepage too.
I just need a decent RSS feed Gaget that will show the thumbnails.
right now its just links.

Basically I was wondering if our readers could subscribe just to the Guides forum alone. But now I found that they can subscribe to any forum as an RSS feed.
Pretty cool. If I was a reader and was trying to see what games are updated for PlayOnLinux, it would be nice to have a feed of some sort. This does it perfectly.
