What does this mean? If I were a coder would I "get it," or is this a boo boo?

If you use My Yahoo, you can add the latest posts from those to forums to that page.

I must be behind as well. How do you use RSS in Safari? And more importantly... what is RSS?

RSS - Really Simple Syndication

I like it, but I want to be able to see more than just the 5 newest/most recent posts.

Well now that is nifty! I never knew what that RSS was. Thanks Brad! I added it to my Yahoo homepage. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

For the few mac users in this thread... rock on. and rss only works with Safari 1.2 and up, which means you have to be running OS X 10.4 Tiger.
from apple's site:

http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/safari/
RSS Ready
Many major news organizations, community websites and personal weblogs offer headlines and article summaries in the form of news feeds using a technology called RSS. Safari RSS lets you take these news feeds and view them together in a simple, ad-free list, so you can quickly find all the articles that interest you from across the Web. Safari is compatible with all the RSS feeds on the Internet because of its standards-based support for RSS 0.9, RSS 1, RSS 2 and Atom.


When Safari encounters a RSS feed, it displays every headline and article summary right in the browser window. To read the complete article, click on the headline or summary to retrieve the web page. Safari has a slider control for customizing the displayed length of each article summary and controls for sorting and filtering displayed articles by Date, Title and Source.

Maybe this will help some of you.

Here's the easiest way I have found to use RSS. Go to yahoo and make a personalized web page called my yahoo. (you can use it as your home page if you want).
Click add content.
Click Popular From the Web to add the RSS feed.
Enter 2005-2008 Mustang, click find.
It will find it then click add.
Do it again for 2009 Mustang News if you want. Don't forgot to do it for 2007 Shelby GT500 to get Brads other RSS.

For troubleshooting purposes, I've had to disable the RSS feeds. Unfortunately, the RSS feeds seem to be really popular but I suspect they are causing issues with the forums. I hope to resolve this issue soon.

Any chance of getting the RSS feeds working again now that we're on vBulletin? Yeah, I'm needy.
