What's this forum for?:confused:
It was empty when you posted, but if you look again you'll see stories from the FAI and UEFA websites, imported automatically via their RSS feeds. I'd welcome suggestion for other feeds, preferably with some relation to Irish football.

There is a BBC Northern Ireland Football Football feed which I subscribe to on my feedreader. It has plenty of Derry City news, and a good bit on the Irish League too.
RTE and Setanta also have good feeds but I don't think you can split them up to filter all the non-football news out.
Is it really necessary? You can always quote or show the link to a story whenever you start a new thread anyway in Worls Football / Ireland. Not sure it warranted a seperate area...
Feckin annoying for those of us who click "New Posts" too. Would think the Blog would be a better place for these rather than the forum
drinkfeckarse, it's not necessary, but it is a way of bringing current news to the forum, rather than relying on users to go out and look for it and bring it back.
Dodge, I've disabled indexing of that forum, hopefully that will stop them appearing in New Posts. I could import them to the blog as just feeds, certainly, but then users wouldn't be able to comment on them.
Either way, it's an experiment, if people generally don't like it I'll kill it.

Nice idea. You've fixed my only problem with them!
The forum upgrade has been pretty cool so far. That multi-post quote is manna from heaven.Quote:

If you click on it for your post above this, then click the normal quote button on this post, you'll see it in action.Quote:

Btw I cant do that multi quote thing either
Multi-quotes is working now.
Don't like this Football Feeds section. No need for it IMHO.
New section's a good idea, I think. Anything that keeps me off the FAI website as much as possible is always welcome!
Maybe you could have less content, like leaving out the stuff on Estonia and the likes.
I don't know - the small stuff's just as interesting, I think. Especially if a Faroe Islands update comes along!
Good form info for the foot.ie Euro 2008 predictions league too. ;)
It's all or nothing unfortunately. in UEFA's case it seems to be more than that, I reckon their feed is badly developed because the forum is pulling in dupes. If it continues, I'll delete the feed.
Thanks for those tomsoc. I've added the RTE and BBC ones for the moment.

Yeah some have been posted twice.
Very very little of the UEFA stuff (if any?) is Irish related anyway. Oha dn they're still being indexed
I don't mind the section as long they don't appear when i click New Posts.
Yeah its annoying when I click new posts and there are pages of them
Actually, I'm kind of getting used to that. I just skim them, and a few are interesting.Quote:

(You can exclude other forums by adding other forum id's there, separated by commas. Alternatively, you can only search a subset of forums by changing 'exclude' to 'include'.)

Anything to drop Football Feeds from New Posts will be welcome as is a major hassle in the morning getting through all the pages.
How do you bookmark a link? :oQuote:

My solution was to go into the Football Feeds forum and click Forum Tools and Mark This Forum Read which got rid of them all from the New Posts list.Quote:

Feed can be pushed into relevant forums, but in some examples that's going to be a pain in the arse; for example the FAI feed will have some eL stories and some Ireland stories. I was thinking of moving them into appropriate forums, but that'd be a full time job. One way around it would be for people to ask for relevant threads to be moved somewhere, just by posting in the thread and saying "Move this to [eL/WF/etc]", but how do we get the word out about that?

Isn't there a forum announcement thingimy?Quote:

whats with all the football feeds ? Does that many feeds really need to be posted ?
Well it's handy for lazy people like me! Don't have to look for the news as the news is brought to you. :) :cool: ;)Quote:
