RSS Feed

This is definitely not the right place for this thread, but I can’t seem to find an appropriate one. My RSS Feed for the whole forum stopped working a couple of days ago. I now got to the forum and noticed a whole new look. It’s nice. But I can’t find anywhere how to re-subscribe to the RSS Feed. Anyone knows?

RSS (Atom) Feeds
If you have been subscribing to areas of the forum using RSS or Atom-based feed readers, you may find that your feeds stop working with this update. In the past we used an unofficial patch to add these feeds to the forum, but in the latest version of phpBB, a simple feed system is provided, using the Atom protocol.

Your web browser should display available feeds, but specifically how it does so will vary depending on the browser.

Useful Global Feeds
News: receive official news from L&L via the Announcements board.
New Topics: lists the most recent posts made, forum-wide.
Active Topics: lists all posts that have had recent discussion within them.
More Specific Feeds
If you wish to subscribe to only one forum in general, or even a single topic, then navigate to that location and you will find the relevant link added to the browser’s feed list for the page you are viewing.

Sorry to be dense:
Are News, New Topics, and Active Topics the only published available feeds?

Where is “the browser’s feed list for the page you are viewing” in Firefox? Safari? How would i use Vienna instead of a browser?
Thanks.

With Firefox, when you click on a feed link, it by default goes to a preview of the feed and asks what you want to do with it. You can bypass that stage with a checkbox, so that it always opens a feed link in Vienna.

As for seeing which feeds a site has made available, there is a button on the toolbar for that, I’m not sure if it is in the default set though. You know a site has feeds when the button turns black. The following are what I get when viewing this thread:

I don’t know anything about Safari, sorry.

In Safari, the RSS Feeds buttons have disappeared with this new look. That’s why I started this thread to begin with. I couldn’t find a way to re-subscrive until someone posted the announcement I missed. BTW, thanks for that!

I guess at some point I customized the RSS icon off of my toolbar. Thanks, AmberV.
