Introducing RSS and Mobile for KRO Forum!

[neps]

Being busy with life, as I'm sure all of us are, it's hard to keep up with KRO on a day to day basis. I've just installed a couple of ways that will make it really easy for me, and I hope it helps you as well. (warning: spoiler tag may be flaky in these methods)

Mobile Edition: knightrideronline.com/mf
If you have an iPhone or a mobile device (phone/pda) with a browser - check out that URL. It's a streamlined version of the forum, that allows you to read and post on all the topics.

RSS: feeds.feedburner.com/kro_forum
RSS is something I'm huge on supporting. It basically allows you to check multiple sites from one location, instead of going to multiple locations to check for updated content. (sue found this easy to understand video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0klgLsSxGsU)

If you have an RSS reader use feeds.feedburner.com/kro_forum for the forum or feeds.feedburner.com/kro_news for the news area, and you can be on top of any new news item or post to the forum.

Let me know if you have any questions or issues!

I recommend newsgator.com for RSS reading. They have a web version so you can check it out from anywhere, but they also have PC/Mac applications if you prefer to not have a web browser type experience all the time. They also have mobile versions for iPhones and Phones as well.

That’s cool! Imagine the time I could save!
Nothing like the good old red and grey KRO though. When you surf KRO that way you don’t get to see who’s online or what’s for sale right now on ebay. Oooh look signed DH pics, see what you could be missing.

Cool! I remember when I had a phpBB forum they had a hack that would allow you to send posts via RSS. I haven't used that stuff in ages though so I don't know if it's still around. It's funny that phpBB doesn't already have this built in, what with RSS being a big thing now days.

I'm glad that there's RSS for this though. Very handy!

I'm off to newsgator.com to get me some cool software.

I'll have to thank for the mobile version. It works very nicely in my iPhone 3G. I was first browsing tue regular version and wished for a mobile one. And you made one! Thanks!
