This forum has an RSS feed and you can read the most recent messages remotely in an RSS reader.
The NEW feed address is
http://mahoningvalley.info/forum/index.php?action=.xml;sa=news;type=rss
Please note that Yahoo RSS only shows 5 posts by default and also only seems to update hourly.
You can view RSS without special software in your email if you use Mozilla Thunderbird. You can also view RSS in Firefox as a Live Bookmark.
Note - I have set up my Thunderbird to receive the RSS feed and it is really nice to have the messages come as emails fully formatted as web pages. The function buttons such as "reply" also seem to work well.
When I visit the board it also doesn't show me the messages I've already opened via email as unread posts.
Please note the adresss for the RSS feed has changed.
There are links to popular RSS feed readers at the bottom of these pages.
These link through feedburner.
The NEW direct feed address is:
http://mahoningvalley.info/forum/index.php?action=.xml;sa=news;type=rss
Another note about the RSS feeds through feedburner and the bookmark links.
The graphics are not ads for these services.
Members may belong to these services or may have their browsers set to a "home" page like yahoo, google or AOL that will allow the messages to be added.
I added the feed links to promote traffic to the boards because the site will come up in feed searchs for Youngstown, Mahoning etc.
