What is RSS News Feed?

I could not access.

Maling please check the bottom left hand corner of your Browser you should see the Icon I showed you.

 Snap1.png   21.75KB   48 downloads

Click on this you will then the RSS Channels that are available.

 Snap2.png   23.75KB   47 downloads

Choose one, depending on your Browser the page that you are on will contain Text (this happens with Opera) and the Feed window should open and you should be asked to sunscribe.

 Snap3.png   73.39KB   51 downloads

Click on the Icon in the Address Bar you can choose between the Feeds that you have subscribed to.

This is how it looks

 Snap4.png   91.71KB   48 downloads

Or, if you're running Opera, just look in the address bar.

Thank you Robbo and Jito.

I use IE6. I clicked on the icon at the bottom left, two options appeared: Alcohol News and Alcohol Help.

When I then clicked on Alcohol News, the page displayed the following without opening any feed window for subscribing:

  <title>What is EFM</title>
  <link>http://forum.alcohol-soft.com/index.php?showtopic=25206</link>
- <description>
- <![CDATA[ <b>Q:</b> -Whats is EFM?<br /><br /><b>A:</b> -EFM (Eight to Fourteen Modulation) is a method of encoding source data for CD formats into a form that is easy to master, replicate and playback reliably. EFM modulation gives the bit stream specific patterns of 1s and 0s, thus defining the lengths of pits and lands. EFM permits a high number of channel bit transitions for arbitrary pit and land lengths. The merging bits ensure that pit & land lengths are not less than 3 and no more than 11 channel bits. This reduces the effect of jitter, distortions on the error rate, increases data density and helps facilitate control of the spindle motor speed

  <title>NTFS mounted drives in Windows XP</title>
  <link>http://forum.alcohol-soft.com/index.php?showtopic=25205</link>
- <description>
- <![CDATA[ A mounted drive is a drive that is mapped to an empty folder on a volume that uses the NTFS file system. Mounted drives function as any other drives, but they are assigned drive paths instead of drive letters. When you view a mounted drive in Windows Explorer, it appears as a drive icon in the path in which it is mounted. Because mounted drives are not subject to the 26-drive-letter limit for local drives and mapped network connections, use mounted drives when you want to gain access to more than 26 drives on your computer. For example, if you have a CD-ROM drive with the drive letter E, and an NTFS volume with the drive letter F, mount the CD-ROM drive as F:\CD-ROM. You can then free the drive letter E, and gain access to your CD-ROM drive directly by using F:\CD-ROM.<br /><br />You can also use mounted drives when you need additional storage space on a volume. If you map a folder on that volume to another volume with available disk space (for example, 2 gigabytes), you extend the storage space of the volume by 2 gigabytes (GB). With mounted drives, you are not limited by the size of the volume in which the folder is created.<br /><br />Mounted drives make your data more accessible and give you the flexibility to manage data storage based on your work environment and system usage. These are additional examples by which you can use mounted drives.<br /><br />Use the Disk Management snap-in to mount a drive on a folder on a local volume. The folder in which you mount the drive must be empty, and must be located on a basic or dynamic NTFS volume. <br /><br /><b>How to create a mounted drive</b><br /><br /><u>To mount a volume:</u><br /><br />1.    Click Start, click Run, and then type compmgmt.msc in the Open box.<br />2.    In the left pane, click Disk Management.<br />3.    Right-click the partition or volume that you want to mount, and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.<br />4.    Click Add.<br />5.    Click Mount in the following empty NTFS folder (if it is not already selected), and then use one of the following steps:<br />•    Type the path to an empty folder on an NTFS volume, and then click OK.<br />•    Click Browse, locate the empty NTFS folder, click OK, and then click OK.<br />•    If you have not yet created an empty folder, click Browse, click New Folder to create an empty folder on an NTFS volume, type a name for the new folder, click OK, and then click OK.<br />6.    Quit the Disk Management snap-in.<br /><br /><b>How to remove a mounted drive</b><br /><br /><u>To remove a mounted volume:</u><br /><br />1.    Click Start, click Run, and then type compmgmt.msc in the Open box.<br />2.    In the left pane, click Disk Management.<br />3.    Right-click the partition or volume that you want to unmount, and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.<br />4.    Click the mounted drive path that you want to remove, and then click Remove.<br />5.    Click Yes when you are prompted to remove the drive path.<br />6.    Quit the Disk Management snap-in.

- <![CDATA[ There is software on some Dell machines that prevents Alcohol from installing, it's called Broadcom Trusted Platform Module (when downloaded from the Dell drivers site) and is installed onto the system as Embassy Trusted Platform by Wave Systems. Once this software is uninstalled Alcohol runs fine.<br /><br />If there is a error message saying Internal Error Contact Support please try the following.<br /><br />Please highlight the exe file then in the Context Menu choose Run as it should then work.

Im not sure if IE6 supports RSS feeds have you tried updating to IE7.

[MaLing]

Oh, I see. Thanks Robbo.

[Charalambos]

One strange thing: The most times I open a page in the forum the opening stucks at the point "1 items remaining: Receiving image http://forum.alcohol...ges...s.png..." (translated to English) and the page's opening is never completed and the page isn't contained in the IE's history. It isn't something important but I find it a bit annoying.
Also I now notice that the URL is automatically turned to a link , this is usefull many times but not always.

IE6 will just dispay the contents of the XML file in the browser window as XML rather than formatted XML. For those who do not have a compliant browser there are plenty of RSS readers out there that given a feed will notify you of any updates as they happen. Sharp Reader springs to mind.

Robbo, I just saw your had changed the field 'From' to Oblivion in your profile, and then I saw this example under the heading 'Oblivion' in my dictionary:

'Alcoholics often suffer from periods of oblivion.'

Do you work for Alcohol too hard?

[Charalambos]

Im not sure if IE6 supports RSS feeds have you tried updating to IE7.

I can confirm that IE7 supports RSS feeds.
