RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication in computerese! It basically creates a bookmark that updates a list of entries each time the site is modified - used for news feeds and the like.

If you go to the page that lists all the different forums, you'll notice that in brackets next to the forum names it says (RSS)... click on RSS and you should get some kind of message saying do you want to subscribe to RSS now - in firefox, it asks you where you would like to place the bookmark (you can put it in the bookmarks list, or the bookmarks bar - the bar is most useful for a quick look at what's happening on the forums). I presume that IE7 will have some kind of similar setup - I use a mac, so don't have internet explorer to try it out - there's some info on microsoft's site - use the link below.

I am good with anything that happens. There are things that annoy me with this new one and things that I quite like about it. All in all, I am just happy the technical information remains. Just imagine if there was some technical meltdown and the wikipedia got wiped!!! Whoa!

Going to any new forum is always hard, I reckon it's just a matter of time...

That RSS thing sounds interesting. What does it stand for??

How do you use RSS? I have IE 7, will it work with that?

Don't worry... you will get used to it! My initial reaction was that it was a step backwards, but after using the site a bit, it is faster, and has some excellent features - like the RSS feeds for the forum. I now have a link called Datsun 1200 Club in my bookmarks bar that reveals a list of the latest topics without having to come into the site... very cool.

Raaaarghhh!

You'll get used to it.

It is for free and everything was done by a couple of individuals in their own time.

It is still in the development stages so things may be a bit slow or inconsistent. Perhaps you should try ozdat? That's working well, you may like it there.

You can also put the suggestion down and they'll change it when they get the chance.

Hoon Tart?! Hilarious!
