Hi Folks.
To enable quick access to this sub-forum for people using mobile phones it has its own address -
http://fb.warsug.info
The RSS feed for those that want it is at:

Signatures and pictures are disabled in this sub-forum so it loads as fast as possible.

Hmmm.....
When I put
http://warsug.info/rss.php?fid=34
into the RSS client on my Nokia, I get the entire FESA feed, not just the Major fires and incidents.
Is this by design, or a fault in my client?

It's a fault at my end. This version of phpbb has a new RSS plugin which works differently than the old one.
I've restored the old one which works as it should.

Now the RSS client only shows 2 posts - 1: my first post to this thread,
and the other in Significant bush/ scrub, dated the 24/11.
- no matter how many times I refresh.
The feed for the entire site seems to work as I would expect.
Anything that you can do, appart from telling me that I am too Geeky:-)?

The phpBB RSS plugins suck... it wont remember what posts you have read etc, as you can't log into the board from most RSS clients.. I gave up on it on my Android phone.

Does anyone know what type of authentication it requires? It obviously works because if I browse straight from the warsug pages to the RSS link, Firefox shows ALL the threads I have access to. If I access it via a small program I wrote in Visual Basic, I get the same as you got above. (ie it thinks I'm a visitor) My experience with HTTP is fairly basic.

I use RSS just to keep up on the new topics and posts - I don't use RSS to browse or post, so I need a bit of help with this one.
Which RSS URLs are we using?
The old one at:
http://warsug.info/rss.php?fid=34
Or the new one at:
http://warsug.info/feed.php?f=34

I'm using
http://warsug.info/rss.php?fid=34
Wasn't aware of the new one.
Wait out.

With the new forum software version the feed URL has changed. It's now:
app.php/feed/forum/34
