Can we get RSS for xda-developers.com?

Hey, so we can read post on our cell.
please provide subforum RSS as well.

i believe you can already subscribe to sub-forums. Just not single threads.
You can see the forum id in the url of your chosen sub-forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=312
All i did was change the number on the end to reflect the sub forum i wanted. 312 being the Trinity Upgrade Thread.

Will someone give us RSS as new year presents?

are you after individual threads, or sub-forums? ...
Cos if it's threads, (like an individual ROM thread for instance),
then I concur, this would be nice, but your original post seemed to indicate you were asking for sub-forum RSS feeds.
If it's that, then I assure you, what I said before works....
just go to your sub-forum, note down the number at the top,
then copy and paste the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=312
into your rss reader and change the number at the end to the [sub-forum] you want.

XDA Twitter - Automatic RSS Updates

Hello there, i have worked a system to follow forum posts on Twitter, here are the currently supported threats:
XDA Twitter for Front Page forum: xda_developers
XDA Twitter for Kaiser General forum: xda_kaiser
Each one is updated every hour getting the last RSS post.
The Twitter idea is from robboy who gave me the password to work the system. The original post can be found here.
If you have any idea, suggestion, improvement for the twitter just let me know!
- Also let me know if you want another threat to follow -

That's a really good idea! Maybe you could do this for the ROM development threads, so we know when a new or updated ROM comes out.

aha, so you're the reason we couldn't register that twitter username

[Q] Viewing new posts in which you have participated

Hello, this is the only vBulletin forum that I browse(I'm more of a SMF guy, I use it and develop for it) and I can't find the place where I can see new topics in which I have participated(Tapatalk does this for this forum). Is there a link where I can see the new topics?

A couple of things you can do:
1
Subscribe to threads you are interested in and receive email notification of new posts being added.
2
Bookmark your profile page http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1153710 and in there go to the statistics tab>Find all posts by. Then by clicking on your posts you can see if there have been any replies.
Not sure if these links might work also:
Find all posts by Dragooon123
Find all threads started by Dragooon123

im using subscription witout email, means i can go to my user cp and i see all threads i subscripted that have new posts
so i dont get too many emails but see all new replys..

The question is,
why does the XDA app offer this feature,
but the full version of the board does not?
I could theoretically run an emulator, run the XDA android app, and use this forum MORE efficiently than actually turning on a laptop. I use the 'participated' area every single day.
That seems backward. There has to be a way to pull this data to a web browser, if it can be pulled to an Android phone.

You should set your usercp so that it will automatically subscribe to threads you reply to (without notification)
Then go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/subscription.php?do=viewsubscription&folderid=all to view them.

Sorry to dredge up an old topic, but I haven't found an answer to the same question, and this is the only time I have seen it have replies. Finding threads posted by a user will not do the same thing, the participated thread button in the tapatalk or xda app does. One should not have to subscribe to every thread either, that would be pointless considering that is for threads you REALLY want to follow.
The information is accessible to the app, which means ultimately it would be easy to implement on the website, and it is counter productive you can only find it in app. The best answer I have is find the posts in the app, but if I have to post something longer, or with links, I have to find the thread on the website.
As popular as this site is, this feature would improve quite a bit.. people(maybe more noobs) would actually follow threads they've posted questions on, so the replies aren't a waste of time. How many threads have multiple people asked for more details and the OP never replies.. Subscribing to threads would only work on any new posts, and some of my oldest ones I would still want to know activity for. This all seems obvious.

[Q] Google Reader Sub Forum RSS?

I would like to subscribe to sub forums Example: Evo 4g and Nook Color Android Development. I use the Xda App and its amazing, but I would like all the new post to appear in my news when I read them all, I subscribe by email but not fast enough or sometimes it doesnt appear. Any idea how I can do so with out subscribing to whole xda rss feed. Thanks

I'm also searching for this option. Any ideas?

I'm looking for a solution to this too. So far I've been recommended FeedBurner, but that just works at the thread listing level. I'm looking to generate a RSS of the posts from within a thread... Anyone got any suggestions?
The two feeds that I've found that XDA generates are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=765
(change 765 to the forum level that you want)...
But this still doesn't list from within threads....

super easy go to the sub-forum and click the RSS button on your browser to get RSS link. copy to Google Reader.
if you have chrome you can subscribe to Google reader with 2 clicks. Rss button> Subscribe.

wow hard.
note: rss feeds show newly started THEADS, not new posts, nor does it "bump" up an older thread with new posts,
nor can you subscribe to a "Device" subforum as a whole ( general Q&A Dev and Apps together), only sub-forums OF the device ( general, q&A ect SEPARATELY for each device)

Thanks trusselo, I found the regular RSS feeds as I said in my post. It's whether or not there is one for within the forum thread itself; and it appears there is not. I've tried various sites to dynamically generate a RSS from a web page, but they are terrible and syndicate a whole bunch of useless data.
Has anyone managed to use a third party site to generate a clean and usable RSS feed of posts within a sub forum?

I am not aware of a feed of posts, due to the huge number of posts you will see... New threads is all that rss covers afaik

Ye I was thinking that, but at the same time an RSS of thread data would be no more than what each page generates in standard forum HTML, especially if the feed was paginated with around 10-20 posts per page, like the thread pages are now.
I'll put it in as a feature request and see what happens in the future.

Forum RSS feeds

Sorry for the stupid question, i'm sure the forums had RSS links for each individual section of the forum but I can't seem to find it any more.
Could someone point me in the right direction or have they been removed?

anyone?

For some reason we don't have an icon for it.
Here's the URL for this forums' RSS feed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=263
Just replace the forumids=xxx with the forumId of the one you want to subscribe to.
Thanks
Dave

thanks, just what I was after

I've searched through the XDA archives but can't find any way to subscribe to an individual thread (not just forum ID) via RSS. Is this something that currently works?
Thanks.

Hi lio, thanks for that. I'm still trying to generate an RSS feed for within a thread though. So for instance I'm trying to get a feed for the following thread data:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=765
... and feedburner gives me the following two feeds:
Code:
xda-developers - Desire HD Android Development - RSS Feed: [url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=765[/url]
xda-developers RSS Feed: [url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2[/url]
... both of which are not generating from within the thread, they're just listing the different forums themselves. If you see what I mean?

These links no longer work
Is there some other link that we can use?

I know this is an old thread, but I'd settle for an RSS of my "Subscribed Threads & Forums" page. That alone would be enough for me...

Seems no viable solution exists...

I too would like this. I see XDA has their own feed reader app for the forum. Maybe they disabled RSS feeds so that we'd be forced to use their app so they can make $$? Kind of gay, RSS feeds allow me to check multiple forums from one list on one app.
Closest thing I found searching the forums is this: https://feeds.feedburner.com/xda-developers/ and maybe it can be modified to show the forum that you want?
