Do you visit the main news page of FED2k?

[Dunenewt]

My FF says that we do have RSS feeds on the forum.

[Andrew]

I clicked on the RSS feed icon when in the "fed2k news" section and it gave me a list of recent replies to all threads (does that everywheress).

I thought when I click on icon it takes rss feed for specific topic/board?

Ah I'm the one who isn't RSS savvy enough: I didn't think it was customizable to every _ single _ page. And I didn't see one on main page.

Well my news update needs are now served. I won't need to go on the main page anymore :P

[Dunenewt]

For those of you with FF, put a live bookmark of the forum RSS feed, so you can see the latest five posts at any time.

[Egeides]

My 2 cents: For lazy clickers and those less familiar with RSS, maybe the RSS icon could be put on the main page as well since this is where many are used to click those from.

[Dunenewt]

It would be nice if we used the RSS feed to have the latest posts appear on the site's home page.  There's new news as well by the way.

There are a few different RSS feeds you can pick... I'm pretty sure you can do it per board as well as for the entire forum as it is built into the SMF forum software we use.

btw, here are some stats for those who are interested:

Ok, who is using up all the data bandwidth? Fess Up!

1.5gb per week on the forum, and 8.5gb on the website. Nice to know people are still downloading stuff.

I remember when Gob gave stats back many years ago on lots of stuff and my ISP was near the top of the list of total bandwidth or something like that.

Re:Amount of people online

My ISP was fourth place :P

Maybe I'm the reason why Gob couldn't get Mahdi a hat? I was clogging the internet tubes?

[Mahdi]

That was not an intelligent thing to admit to Andrew.  Now I have a second person to blame....

So... what do those stats mean?  I don't speak computerese.

[Andrew]

I presume the first number is for the past month.

It says what it says :P

I'm not sure if I'm correct but here's my interpretation:

Successful requests: click on something and it gets you there along with all the images and stuff.

Average successful requests per day: average from above

Successful requests for pages: click on a link and it takes you to a page?

Average successful requests for pages per day:  average

Failed requests: failed..

Redirected requests: click on something and it takes you somewhere else. I'm guessing something like dune2k.com/zomg

Distinct files requested: i guess the number of files requested. probably include files such as avatars, forum buttons, html pages etc

Distinct hosts served: ISPs/IP addresses?

Data transferred: bandwidth used

Average data transferred per day: average per day

[Mahdi]

So

"Distinct hosts served: 12,219 (894)"

Means that we had 12, 219 unique hits in that one week?
