Guys,
I have a computer geek question on using an RSS feed reader to follow the BBM forums. I am not having much luck in following any conversations using a RSS feed reader. The reader updates me on when a new topic is has been added, but not when comments have been appended to the topic during the conversations. I was wondering if anyone else is trying to use the RSS feed to follow the postings and discussions on the BBM. I’m new to RSS feeds and maybe this is something that can’t be done with the readers, or more likely, I’m just too inexperienced to know what to do. I’ve tried the Google reader, FeedDemon and SharpReader, without much success. Any feedback would be great.

I also have the RSS link to the articles page, via the upper right link. I was experiementing with using the RSS feed reader to monitor updates (both new topics and follow-on discussions) to the forum pages. I’ve done a little looking around on the internet and it seems that RSS and the feed readers weren’t setup for doing what I was trying, more like for monitoring news sites. Apparently, there may be some apps called Web Forum Readers that will do what I am looking for. Checking one of those out was my next step. Thanks for looking into this for me.
