The RSS Feed just has the title, contributor and link at the moment. Could we have the first 100 characters of the message, for example? It would make it infinitely more useful.

As you can see, You don't see enough to know whether you want to click through or not....

Thats a good idea. Would be useful so we can ignore posts if it just says "lol", "cheers" etc.

I saw this post in my INBOX from the TGC future board. It's a great idea though. I only just found out about the RSS feed anyway!


Thanks to Animeblood for the Logo!

Is it possible to open RSS "stuff" using a VB.net application?

The reader in the image is a .net application.

You can use the xml object to make life easier, it can read the schema and allow you to format stuff really easily.
