OK, Where's the Blogs gone?

Hi Don,

Yep we know, they'll be gone in the next update...

Thanks,

Amy

Related, is there an RSS feed for the forums? I would like to keep up to date on my iPhone but browsing the forums is too small. How about an iPhone app?

[Amy Davies]

I know what you mean - I use the forums on my iPhone sparingly, just by zooming in where appropriate. I should imagine an RSS feed might be tricky - imagine how many new posts there are, it'd clog up the reader I should imagine. Unless you could subscribe to individual sections/posts. Something to consider anyway...

Watch this space for an iPhone app.......

There are RSS feeds available:

Latest 15 posts across all forums: http://www.photoradar.com/forums/external.php?type=RSS2

Or, for individual forum sections add the following: &forumids=3 (replacing the number with the ID of the section, like so: http://www.photoradar.com/forums/ext...amp;forumids=3

You can get the section ID by hovering your mouse over the main link into that section, eg. for the Photoradar section (this one) it's http://www.photoradar.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=3 so the ID is 3.

Nothing geeky about it

If you view the forums in an RSS enabled browser you should be able to subscribe directly without having to mess about with the links as it will autodetect the feed.

And depending on what RSS reader you're using on your iPhone you should also be able to do the same, entering just the forum address and letting it autodetect the feed. Eg. I use Free RSS Reader on mine and that gives you the option to add either the direct feed URL or to browse to the page and autodetect

I am using RSS Runner. Free RSS Reader, even though it shows up, says it is no longer available. I have added the feed.
