(Hurray, I've made my first thread in like three months)

So, well I was thinking, some people (like me) are total Forum freaks. And then you want to stay updated on what kind of stuff people are talking about. The RSS Feeds feature has been implemented into Firefox and some email providers. So why shouldn't there be an RSS Feed for the forums? That way you know if someone has replied to your thread quickly and you would be able to track the ongoing of interesting threads.

Could it be possible for for RSS being implemented into the forums? It's only available here for New Games, so I guess that Armorgames knows how to use RSS Feeds.

RSS Feed is that little orange icon that sometimes next to the web address of sites. It works on Firefox, but I don't know for Internet Explorer. When you sign up for the RSS Feed a bookmark is then added which tells you all the newest updates to the page or whatever the site owners wish to tell subscribers. If you go to the Armorgames main page, you might notice it in the New Games box. It says RSS and shows a little orange signal icoPr

I don't really like feeds. I prefer AG creates a feature where you can just watch threads.

But that's what RSS Feeds can do!

Some email accounts (Like Yahoo) can also use RSS Feed. You may notice it if you subscribe to an RSS Feed and it asks how it should save the RSS. One option is Yahoo.

What would be the point of having a RSS feed for threads, when you can just watch the thread on AG

This could be useful for people who make posts on the programming forums section,mainly because of how long it takes for anyone to reply on there,but other then that section most of them have replies quite quickly which makes it quite hard to see how useful this would be when you could just chekc every couple of minutes.I guess this could have its uses though if used right.

I love RSS Feeds, they are awesome. Plus it saves you the trouble of refreshing AG, which can be a pain in the butt. Plus its a good way to really streamline a bunch of sites without having 10000000 tabs.

You would keep having to reload the tab, and Armorgames is getting kinda slow again. With RSS Feeds it would be a lot better because then you can quickly see if anything interesting is being discussed or one of your thread was answered.

Someone else who agrees with me, hurray! Oh, he's just sort of agreeing. Booo... People don't immediately reply to all threads. Take this thread for example: It took more than a day for someone to answer here. I would like an RSS Feed for something like that.

Yish, I agree with you totally. It saves loading time and opening (Ad refreshing) loads of tabs.

I think the real point here would just be to save time. Because we all know how slow AG can be.

Hmm I never took into account that some people go on to multiple sites at once and like to keep up with them as well.I really don't keep up with any other sites except maybe some youtube play lists on youtube that I could get RSS feeds for(but I rarely check my Email so I don't really use RSS feeds that send me E-mails)So I guess I really didn't think too much about that.OK,well it all really depends on if there are any cons to this on whether I would think it is truly agree with you on it.I like it for now though...even though my opinion doesn't really matter all that much in the end when it comes down to it.
