Thumbs up RSS Access to the Forums

There have been a number of questions about RSS support, good news:

RSS 1.0 Support (Title, Link, Description) can be found at:

http://www.radioreference.com/forums...l.php?type=rss

RSS 2.0 Support (Title, Link, Post Text etc)

http://www.radioreference.com/forums...l.php?type=rss

JS Support (For those that would like to display latest posts on their own web pages from radioreference.com)

http://www.radioreference.com/forums...al.php?type=js

Edit: Do you want to do this on your own web site? Use this javascript code:

Code:
<script src="http://www.radioreference.com/forums/external.php?type=js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
for (i in threads)
{
document.writeln(threads[i].title + " (" + threads[i].poster + ")<br />");
}
//-->
</script>
Modify as appropriate with your own styles and you'll be golden. If you only want to display or retrieve info for a certain forum or forums, append them like the following:

Set of selected forums:

Code:
http://www.radioreference.com/forums/external.php?type=rss&forumids=6,7,8
or for one single forum (like a specific state etc)

Code:
http://www.radioreference.com/forums/external.php?type=js&forumids=11
and so forth...

3. Using the JavaScript external provider process, I am using this to bring back the latest threads listing on the front page, with the link that everyone missed so much from the front page --> "New Posts"

I'll look at adding some forums navigation to the bottom this weekend - this should be easy to do by modifying templates and copying things.

Have fun, hope this is addressing most user complaints etc, enjoy!

So I notice both of the URL's are the same for RSS 1.0 and RSS 2.0. When I use NewsGator (which supports 2.0) to read the RSS feed for a forum (by adding &forumid=x), I only get title, link, and description - no post text. Is this to be expected?

Additionally, and this may be an inherint flaw in RSS rather than an issue with vBulletin, I only see the topic come through on an RSS feed when it is first created. I never see replies or other additions to the topic. Is there any way to have replies and other updates to the topic come through in the RSS feed?

Thanks!
