Can anyone help

by M09 » Sat Jun 13, 2009 12:27 am
Hey guys,

I'm not sure of where to post this question. Can anyone tell me where is the settings, so that every time a memeber posts a new question such CR, RC, SC, DS, PS etc. I receive an email.

Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

If you want to track all the posts & all new questions that are posted on forums especially in CR, RC, SC, PS, DS areas you can subscribe the RSS feeds of respective sections, which can be found out here

RSS feeds can be added in your Outlook account so it get in-sync as you add-n-receive or refresh/update it (along with regular mails).

Hi buddy,

I've subscribed for RSS feed, but stilll I dont get emails realted to GMAT questions posted by members of this forum. For your information, I use gmail.

Not sure whether there's some problem with gmail's logic for getting feeds or some other problem.

Any pointers would be helpful.

Thanks!

You shall not receive emails, you'll receive feeds.

Which RSS aggregator do you use?
MS outlook, Google reader, bloglines etc?
Add feed links to your RSS manager.. from below link.

Hi Buddy,

I've set links such as
https://www.beatthegmat.com/rss.php?f=9
https://www.beatthegmat.com/rss.php?f=10
.
.
etc

in gmail, web clip section, for feeds. As per my knowledge feeds are pushed in XML format by the broadcaster.

Please help.

wow! I never look at those "web clips" almost forgot that it exists :?

It works on 'web clips'. Yes, webclip too give you updates but it's not as effective... shows only title. Where as other RSS apps would give you full text.
(we have set feeds to full text & not just summary/cut-version, so you can do without visiting actual forum)
