Angry Re: why digitforum don't have RSS?

Digit forum did have a good feed before all these crap changes had been made. When the admins here made a thread discussing the new look of forum, I even stated the problem there, but no avail. It was working in Internet Explorer 7 some days ago but now it is failing with the same error in every browser (tried in IE7, IE8b2, FF3.1b1pre, Opera 9.60 Beta1 RC and Safari).

I do not think the forum administrators are looking in the matter.

^thats is because they possibly don't know whom to hire. They might be getting the 'cheap' coders. Even the design part, how many of you can distinguish a hyperlink from the rest of the text. Not that this is something that is impossible to do, but what can we do if nobody wants to do it.

@ rohan_shenoy


i do agree that the design of the forum have been worsened especially after the change of the theme.

but digit have many coders ( atleast i think that) the tutorials in the magazine shows that.

guess digit have to get serious to make his forums the best featured.

I just click the RSS button in the addressbar btw. You guys aren't finding some feed link or something is it?

In any case, what's with the RSS for forums? It would be totally overwhelming to go through all those feeds. I much too much prefer the UserCP thing to check my subscribed threads…

confirmed , RSS not working in opera , it tells that it has been subscribed but there is no feed added in actual.

moreover i checked out with tech2.com and it worked great.

may be its because of vBulletin which powers the forum.(error is on their side)

Exclamation Re: why digitforum don't have RSS?

I already told that it is not working with IE or Firefox 3 or Opera. But it is now working in Safari in Mac OS X Leopard! And IE8 Beta 2 is showing the feed now but also states there are some errors in it.

You know that's funny. If left alone links on any page would normally show up in the default colours
blue for unvisited
maroon/pink for visited

To have it in the same colour as the text of the forum they would have to actually ADD some code, as you know like link= vlink=
Wonder why have they made it all of the same colour.
