View Full Version : RFD and RSS?

Instead of flipping through page after page for posts, can I use RSS to download all of the threads in a specific forum to a program and view it like that? After years of flipping page after page just to read all of the threads in the hot deal forum, I'm hoping there would be something easier.
My ideal method would be to use a program and view all of the threads created in the hot deals forum for either today or the entire week. Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks for the link, but none of the RSS readers that RFD recommended does what I want. Google and Live.com only download certain number of stories and not all posts/threads made in that specific day. Is there anything that I can do about this?

I do not believe anything like this is currently available, but if you search google for rss and vbulletin, I imagine there is something available. The thread is split among pages for many reasons including bandwidth. To make an entire thread available via Rss could end up using a lot of bandwidth.
If you subscribe to a thread you can get email notice of a new post, including the contents of the post...
