Both work for me as well. I just wish the forum feed worked differently. It would be nice to have feeds from each individual forum section. Oh well. No big deal.

Good. Tit is working now. I'm using Mail 3 for my RSS. Nice.

This is actually possible. Use this method:
At the end of the URL, place the forum ID number. To obtain this, simply look at the URL for the section of the forum that you're in, when reading a post.
The URL for this section is:
For example, this section of the forum is 89, so the URL to put in your RSS reader would be:
If you wish to subscribe to other sections, simply add their section ID number separated by a comma (with no spaces) to the URL.
For example:
This would subscribe to both the MacNN Lounge and the Mac OS X sections of the forum.
The only down-side to this, is that it only gives you the topic titles, and doesn't provide any previews as to the content of each topic posted. Hopefully a fuller solution will be available for the forum from MacNN in the future.
I asked this question a while back, and some kind person on the forum explained this method to me. So, all credit goes out to them!
Thanks, and good luck,
onlyone-jc.

cool tip. Thanks.
I prefer the current method though. It's easy to get all new threads at once. Works for me because I like to read and participate in all sections.

Perfect! Thanks!
I'm hoping they'll add a better solution for this as well, but this'll do nicely.
Well thanks a lot onlyone-jc and some kind person!

You've already been extremely helpful, so perhaps you can help me further?
Is it possible to have a feed from a single thread, showing new posts? Seems unlikely, but it could be possible.
Sorry to bother you, and again, I thank you greatly.
