actually, i've already made one, though i never got around to polishing it and adding a link from the main page.

http://www.celephais.net/board/news_rss.php

Also, it appears to be broken right now. 

one of the news items had a backquote in it. I replaced it with an apostrophe and it works now. Have to look into setting the proper encoding in the xml tags, i guess. 

The RSS feed only relays new threads. Which happens twice per year if we're lucky. 

hm - so it is not possible to get every post relayed with RSS?
I'm addicted to this board :) 

well, that's a possibility, but i'd have to decide what exactly it would do. Customized feed per user? Should it uncheck the "unread" flag when you view the feed? Etc. Etc. 

As for me it doesn't need it to be customizable it also doen't have to uncheck the unread flag. But this is only my opinion. 

or it could only say: "there is a new post in the ... thread" 

but if it's not customized per user, how does it decide what posts are "new?" 

Isn't it the RSS client's task of marking items in the feed as new?
The feed supplied by the site only needs to send out the last 25 posts, and the client will check it regularly and notify the user when there's new stuff. 

so you guys want individual posts in the feed, out of context and all jumbled up? 

There could be a link at the bottom/top of each thead to it's appropriate feed, something like
http:// www.celephais.net/ board/ thread_feed.php?id=2 and then return the proper xml for the thread.

Note: I wouldn't use a feed anyway, I'm just saying... 

With "new post" I was meaning new posts since last RSS update. But maybe I don't understand everything right. I don't know how rss is working. For me it would be enough if the rss feed would be automatically updated every 10 or 30 minutes with a message about new posts if threre were some. But i guess this needs something more than RSS. 

how do you pronounce celephais? hehehe :P 

I don't know the official pronunciation (it's taken from an H.P. Lovecraft book) but the way I pronounce it is "sell uh face." 

odd, I always interpreted the word as being a bit french, with the "ais" having a silent "s" 

Sounds better without pronouncing the s yeah, nothing french about it though. =) 

c'est le fait?
c'est le phait? :D 

it's a conspiracy! 

In french we rather say: "Ca le fait" ;P 

Metl, have you considered adding a CSS a:hover so the link color changes when it's pointed too? I think that'd add a welcome "feel" to using func_ 

 

Process limit exceeded for uid 10019 [24 >= 24]. 

seems off and on.

Do you guys think it is slower than last week, or about the same (ignoring the internal server errors?) 

 

I got Internal Server Error several times yesterday... Did the provider make any updates on the server ? I also experiment speed and latency huge changes ... What happened ? BTW It sounds to be solved this morning (it works perfectly) but yesterday it was a nightmare even to connect and login.... wait and see ...
