Question

What RSS feed do I want to use?

So I am trying to give these new forums as much a chance as possible.  I am really feeling the loss of the NNTP news feed as I have discused elsewhere.

E-mail is serious lacking in that the messages are largely unintelligable without real improvement.

My next step was to look at the RSS feeds and I am presented with 6 choices with only their titles and links to go on to disgingish between options.  So what do I want to use and why would a user choose 'All Content RSS Feed" over the "Discussion Messages" or maybe the "Discussion Threads"?

Is this discussed somewhere?

RSS FEED OPTIONS

All Content RSS Feed:
Announcements:
Discussion Messages:
Popular Discussion Threads:
Discussion Threads:
Unanswered Threads:

    I suggest you subscribe by forum.   That way you can point ther rss feed to a different folder or section of your rss reader for each forum you want to monitor.

    To do that; open any forum and at the bottom of the thread list will be an rss link icon.   subscribing to that will do an rss sunscription to that forum only.  Point it to what ever read you want.  repeat with any forums you want to monitor.

    Subscribing to ALL forums would be overwhelming.

    Well that just adds to the question, what the heck is the differenece between this link at the bottom of the forum that does bring up a single RSS feed and the link on the right of the forum that brings up a chocie of 6 feeds?

    If you are viewing a thread in the bottom left is an rss feed icon.  That will subscribe you to the threads in that forum only.

    The RSS icon in the right column is for the entire adobe forums.  Clicking on it will reveal several options for subscribing to specific filters of all the threads in all the forums.   (like poplar discussions, open threads, etc...) I suggest the later will be information overload.

    But; try them; they poulate your reader almost instantly and they are easy to remove if you no longer want them.
