Administrator Architecht Posted April 13, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted April 13, 2009 I agree. I have given my opinion. The For Sale forum no longer "works" for me as a buyer or a seller. I will move along to other venues. It's a shame, actually. Sounds a bit reactionary. Why don't you just give it a chance for a week or two.

divad Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 e.g. http://boards.collectors-society.com/cache/global_rss70.xml That's awesome, Arch! Is there any way you can get rid of the 'Posted by' line, so you just have the thread title? That would tighten up that screen quite a bit. No real layout control here, no. Bear in mind that viewing the RSS feed as a web page is a pretty raw way to see it. Really the best view would be in an RSS reader and/or plugin. Here's a review of some firefox plugins: http://mashable.com/2007/05/26/rss-firefox-guide/ I must already have an RSS reader loaded, as the link looks like any other web page for me (but without any ads!)

Here's a review of some firefox plugins: http://mashable.com/2007/05/26/rss-firefox-guide/ So I've been using this wizz rss plugin on firefox to see how it feels. To be honest, it's awesome. It's almost faster and easier to navigate sales threads than if you were doing it on the boards. It shows you which ones you've read and which ones you haven't, it displays them all in one big list, it lets you click on them in the menu and jump right to them on the right. I have the RSS feed set right now to only link to whole topics rather than responses, and I -THINK- that is how you guys would prefer it as it's the for sale initial thread that seems to have the good info. But really, this is cool / easy. Attached is a screen shot. Edited April 14, 2009 by Architecht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Architecht Posted April 14, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted April 14, 2009 BTW, the ability to add a sound alert when the feed detects a new thread is pretty cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Architecht Posted April 14, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted April 14, 2009 So is the ability to quickly filter the thread feed by words. Like "hulk". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divad Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 So is the ability to quickly filter the thread feed by words. Like "hulk". Yes, but can it be filtered to pick up "the real deal" or "a steal" or "dorkette"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz007-migration Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Translation: "Okay, you can't have the For Sale Forum back the way it was, but here's a cheesy imitation as a substitute." Gee, thanks. You're welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicdonna Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 BTW, the ability to add a sound alert when the feed detects a new thread is pretty cool too. There should also be a sound alert, when a Prob/HoS member tries to buy or sell here. Kinda like a fire alarm sound. Just saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
