hows about every time a new article is placed on the myadsl home page, like at the moment "NUMBER PORTABILITY HERE IN SEPTEMBER" we all get a email telling us about it? or maby we can subscribe to be notified of it?

just a thought...

otherwise, great stuff!

Imagine getting an e-mail for every post in the TK....
Must be subscription based though.

Hi ProASM and others

This is a good place to start with RSS:

http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-10088_7-5143460.html?tag=nxt

There are many readers for RSS…online, software, plug-in. Can be nice if you want the latest news from a certain source…

Simply use the RSS feed from the front page for the latest news articles: http://mybroadband.co.za/nephp/?m=news&display=544

Or the RSS feed for the forum for the latest forum posts: http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/external.php?

Regards,

RPM

Your browser should automatically detect it if there's a link to a RSS feed - there appears an icon in the address bar, and if you click on it, you're subscribed. That doesn't happen with MyADSL's news page; I suspect because it's generated by a php command.

Opera shows a long string of uninterrupted characters, but pops up a dialog asking you whether you want to subscribe.

Just install NewsFox - small, it fits in nicely with FF - go to extensions and do a search from the mozilla extensions page.
