email notifications?

Postby pixpop » Thu Feb 11, 2010 10:33 pm

Are there email notifications? I'm not receiving any, if there are. Also, I saw some discussion about adding RSS, but as of today, Google reader says there's no feed here.

Also, I encountered a teensy problemette: The 'forum' link at the top of the FAQ page has an error, and does not take you to the forums. It seems to link to index.html instead of index.php.

You can subscribe to topics and forums by clicking on the subscribe link at the bottom. I am no expert on how rss works. I set it up and it works for me. I don't use RSS generally so I don't know if it gives you what you want.

I get a feed icon in my browser when I visit the forum and it takes me here. rss.php

It must be a google reader problem. I see the feed link in my browser.

Re subscriptions: The subscribe checkbox is already checked in every topic I view, but I get no emails.

That icon is kind of silly. Look at the verb tense "Subscribe" not "Subscribed". If you subscribe it looks like this.

If you click on the Subscribe link you will get a confirmation
