Dear John, is there an RSS feed option so I can subscribe to all forum posts? I have this option with my own forum at www.designdatamanager.com

It's nice not to have to go to the site to check for posts.

Thanks and regards

Hi Joe. The RSS options are enabled for this site and have been for some time. Try this URL. It works for me.

Dear John, thank you very much it works a treat. I am new to RSS feeds and we have just added them to our new web site. They are a great way of getting information to come to you instead of having to keep checking for updates :-)

Much appreciated, thanks again and regards.
