Hey I always check on [recent posts] at the bottom of the home page. This way I don`t miss anything.
The problem with the recent posts section is that it only records the last ten pages of posts, which is sometimes filled within a couple weeks so if I don't visit for a couple weeks then I have to go clicking through every single thread on the forum which is time consuming.
Since I have set up 3 different places to receive the RSS feed from here I was able to compare them today. So far bloglines.com is the only setup that has worked to reliably receive all the posts from here, but it's still only been a couple of days so it's not fully tested.
Feedreader.com is just plain glitchy and is now not even able to load my feed from poiscenter. Actually I tried logging out and back in and now it is loading the feed, but it has missed a lot of posts in the past couple days.
While the feed reader on internet explorer is easy to access since it's integrated into the navigation bar of the browser it is not feasible, because it has missed a lot of the posts from this site that were posted yesterday and today.
I couldn't figure out how to set up the feed using mozilla firefox.
Does anyone know how to do this or am I the first one who has tried to figure it out? I keep thinking there must be some way to convert the "recent posts" section into a big thread that contains all of the posts ever posted on this site or even maybe just increase the number of pages recorded from 10 to about 50 or 100 pages so the members who've missed a few months of posts can easily get caught up when they return.
