Forum RSS Feeds
After you’ve logged in, you can click the Feeds button to select RSS feedsthat you can add to your favorite
feed reader. This way, you can follow EditPad’s discussion forums as part of your regular reading, without
having to start EditPad. To participate in the discussions, simply click on a link in the RSS feed. All links in
EditPad’s RSS feeds will start EditPad and present the forum login screen. After you log in, wait a few
moments for EditPad to download the latest conversations. EditPad will automatically select the conversation
or message that the link points to. If EditPad was already running and you were already logged onto the
forums, the conversation or message that the link points to is selected immediately.
You can choose which conversations should be included in the RSS feed:
All conversations in all groups: show all conversations in all the discussion groups that you can
access in EditPad.
All conversations in the selected group: show the list of conversations that EditPad is presently
showing in the Forum window.
All conversations you participated in: show all conversations that you started or replied to in all the
discussion groups that you can access in EditPad.
All conversations you started: show all conversations that you started in all the discussion groups that
you can access in EditPad.
Only the selected conversation: show only the conversation that you are presently reading in the
Forum window in EditPad.
In addition, you can choose how the conversations that you want in your RSS feed should be arranged into
items or entries in the feed:
One item per group, with a list of conversations: Entries link to groups as a whole. The entry titles
show the names of the groups. The text of each entry shows a list of conversation subjects and dates.
You can click the subjects to participate in the conversation in EditPad. Choose this option if you
prefer to read discussions in EditPad itself (with instant access to attachments), and you only want
your RSS reader to tell you if there’s anything new to be read.
One item per conversation, without messages: Entries link to conversations. The entry titles show
the subjects of the conversations. The entry text shows the date the conversation was started and last
replied to. If your feed has conversations from multiple groups, those will be mixed among each
other.
One item per conversation, with a list of messages: Entries link to conversations. The entry titles
show the subjects of the conversations. The entry text shows the list of replies with their summaries,
author names, and dates. You can click a message summary to read the message in EditPad. If your
feed has conversations from multiple groups, those will be mixed among each other.
One item per conversation, with a list of messages: Entries link to conversations. The entry titles
show the subjects of the conversations. The entry text shows the list of replies, each with their full
text. If your feed has conversations from multiple groups, those will be mixed among each other.
This is the best option if you want to read full discussions in your RSS reader.
One item per message with its full text: Entries link to messages (responses to conversations). The
entry titles show the message summary. The entry text shows the full text of the reply, and the
conversation subject that you can click on to open the conversation in EditPad. If your feed lists
