    Due to popular demand I've re-enabled the PriusChat RSS feed. It can be found here:

    Feel free to add it to your favorite RSS Aggregator. You can find links for RSS software for all platforms here:

    You can also add PC to your My Yahoo! portal page if you would like by clicking the following button or clicking the button on the forum index page:

    RSS glitch?

    I know I'm probably picking nits here and should be grateful for having PC RSS at all and this bug doesn't have any impact on the Yahoo page since it only shows the subject anyway but...

    With my RSS reader (the Opera browser) the RSS seems to choke on any posts that begin with a quote from another post. The other posts show up find in the reader. Is anyone using a different RSS reader to see if the behavior is consistent? I can't help it...I'm a programmer :roll:

    I still love my Prius and I love PC!

    I bet that's because that quote function includes javascript:

    Here's the code that pops up for me using SharpReader for Windows:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="fi_divexpand.js">Danny wrote: › <script type="text/javascript">docWrite("quote")Tell you what - I'll put the RSS feed back up for the forums if you'll put together a quick & dirty explanation/How-To on using RSS with PriusChat.

    The "How to"... and "What for?!" of using RSS Slightly edited and cross posted here at Danny's request.

    Rather than reinvent the wheel here are a couple of sites that do a decent job of giving and overview of what RSS is and how to take advantage of it. These sites also have links to several RSS news readers or aggregators.

    Okay, now that I've given credit for the sources let me blatantly do some copy and paste for the nuggets.

    "Using RSS Feeds



    • Now let the feed reader do its aggregating work, and enjoy the news."

      Why use RSS feeds?

      • An earlier post described how a web portal like Yahoo can be customized to include content from PC (note that this feature is still in Beta for Yahoo and may be unavailable at times). If you click "Edit" for the RSS module on your My Yahoo! page you can select to see certain #s of posts and whether you want to see summaries of posts or not.
      • Another poster described using Windows Media Center with RSS feeds like PC
      • Perhaps you can add to the list?
