Considering how much more frequent the updates to the recent posts listing are, and how involved and fast various discussions become, I can't help but wonder: Is there an RSS feed for mudbytes, by which I can stay updated on replies to threads?

If not, does anyone think there should be one other than me? What are the pros and cons? I'm not very knowledgable of RSS other than having used it a couple times in the past, but it struck me as interesting. TMC has a RSS feed, if I recall, and it was of relative use for the time that I did use it; although their post update rate is a bit slow for it to be of actual use for me, so I ended up not using it after a while.

Yes, there's an RSS feed; if you use Firefox it shows up in the address bar. Here is the url.

Wow, the speed of that reply answered the question as well!  :biggrin: Thank you for the link.

Although I'm not a Firefox guy; more of an Opera fan. But as I'm on IE right now (oddly enough), it didn't show up for me; I suspect it might have been detected by Opera were I on it. I digress, though. Again, thanks.

As far as I've seen the RSS feed should show up with IE as well. It does for IE7 anyway. IE6 didn't support it.
