Is RSS feed enabled?

[weston]

I only really follow 3 forums regularly. I've gotten into the habit of reading the other 2 by getting RSS feeds for the subforums that interest me but can't seem to get a feed for the mustache forum at all. How do I do it on this forum (preferably broken down sub-forums and/or categories.

Hmm.  At the bottom of each forum page there is a link to this one for the whole forum: https://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/.xml/?type=rss

However I get a 403 Forbidden error if I go there, so it may be blocked (at the moment - see below.)

On the plus side, if I add a subforum to the URL (like https://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/forum-information-faqs/.xml/?type=rss ) it also gives me a 403, rather than 404, which indicates to me that it exists for subforms, but is not accessible.

I'll ping the site admin and ask.

Thanks arebelspy. I kept getting the same error message.

I am working on a permanent fix for this that will happen automatically for all users. However, if you simply need the fix for a feed reader or other way to consume RSS, you can add "?type=rss;action=.xml" (no quotes) to the end of the forum URL that you are interested in.

An example, for the main forum URL is: https://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/?type=rss;action=.xml

I hope that helps.

Thanks Kevin. I'll give it a try.

I'm still having trouble with the RSS feeds, for example if I want to follow a specific group or topic.  Any updates on how to do that and avoid those error pages?

I should also add is the reason I want the rss feed instead of email is that I can sent the RSS directly to my kindle paperwhite.  For some reason the link suggested above only delivers about 16 articles a day.  Not sure why.  Thought I might try individual groups or posts.

Did you try what I outlined?
