Ubuntuforums RSS and Akregator

[Jucato]

Hi, I seem to be having trouble making the Ubuntuforums.org RSS work in Akregator. I can get the small RSS icon in Konqueror to appear (at the bottom-right of the window) and add ubuntuforums to akregator. But when I tell akregator to fetch all feeds, it's not able to fetch anything.

Also, is it possible to have only my subscribed threads appear in the RSS?

Thanks for any help! :D

Does it show an error icon (Red cross) when you tried to fetch the feed?
Can't test with 3.4.x right now, but

http://ubuntuforums.org/external.php?type=RSS

works without problems in Akregator from SVN 3.5 branch (which will become 3.5.2)

If you right click on the rss link (or graphic) and do "copy link location" or something like that, then add it to akregator, it should work fine. I use firefox and not konqueror for browsing so I can't tell what you would see.

Not sure if it's possible to manipulate feeds specific to your requirements, I would have thought it would be a strain on the already frenzied forums server

You can also use
http://ubuntuforums.org/external.php?type=RSS2

@lippel: yeah I get that X mark. I'll try to check what akregator version I'm using later (I'm logged in to Windows). But I'm using KDE 3.5.1
@zi99y: I'll also check if I can achieve the same effect using firefox.
@ubuntu-geek: thanks for the link. hopefully it will work.

Thanks you all! :D

EDIT: Just logged in to Kubuntu:
@lippel: The "About Akregator" dialog box says I'm using Akregator 1.2.1 (using KDE 3.5.1)
@zi99y: I couldn't find any rss icon in Firefox to copy the addrees. I was, however, able to add a Live Feed by right clicking on the rss icon on the address bar. I think ubuntuforums.org doesn't have one of those RSS buttons on the page itself?
@ubuntu-geek: your link works perfectly. Thanks!!

And thank you all for taking time to help me! :D
