New Feature: RSS Feeds (how to get em from predictem) - Sports Betting Forums

Our new forum supports RSS - a cool technology that allows you to get site updates in many new and exciting ways. Using tools such as feedburner, MyYahoo, Google Reader, and others, you can get the latest from any forum you want by subscribing to it.

To get your feed, simply click the feed icon in your web browser (both IE7 and Firefox 2.0 have one - see the attached graphic for a sample).

One of the great features of these feeds is that, say, for example, you cant get predictem at work because your company has a firewall that disallows gambling sites. The RSS feed system is a great workaround for that, since you can have google read the site for you, and show you the site contents in Google reader (or My Yahoo, or Feedburner, or numerous others).

Give it a try!

Very cool - looks like I'll be checking my gmail account quite often from work now!

This is something UC missed the boat on, and it's a good thing you guys have it here. Should also help when the feed searches pick 'em up, too.

I've got a question -

When I'm using the google reader while at work, the only thing I see when I subscribe to the General board is the first post in each thread. I can't find a way to be able to scroll through all of the posts in the thread after the first one. Am I missing something? Gets kinda boring seeing just the 1st post in each thread....

When I click the button, it allows me to subscribe to either "everything" or to "General Discussion". I will look into options to see if there is anything more specific it will allow for with regard to threads.

I suspect that it might require that you get thread specific feeds. I hope not - but I have seen similar kinds of systems before in forums where that is how it worked.
