RSS feeds

Works well in Firefox anyway.
Do we really need it? Well who knows but I doubt it's worthwhile adding the overall TF RSS because it would be too diverse. But if you follow a particular console or just want to look at the tv or movie forum or something, it's pretty handy.

For anyone who has clicked on 'User Info' at the top and wondered what RSS feed means, the best way to use it that I know of is to integrate it into Firefox or IE in the line above (for example) your google search box. So then you get quick drop-down menus of titles of different feeds which you can click on to get the whole story. Eg BBC News or EZTV and SkySports and Total Format all create a button you click to get a dropdown menu of all the latest stories/posts/torrents on the respective sites. It saves loading up the pages and opening new tabs unless there is something new you were waiting for, or in the case of news, catches your eye.

Use it or lose it quackers.

Which one you referring to?

or

http://www.totalformat.com/forum/news.html

or possibly a combination of both?

The rss_feeds.php one is mainly for spiders now as both Firefox and IE have pretty good RSS tools built in, but they most probably come in handy for some people.

The news.php pages need a little more tweaking yet, i'm not overly happy with the way those feeds work yet.

I don't really use RSS myself much, but if anyone would like to see any particular features adding or anything let me know.
