BMR, I appreciate your response, and that you fixed it (well, you and Bullhauler on the Everything Else forum, anyway
) even without knowing what it was. It's working just fine, now, and it's nice to be back online
I posted a brief explanation of what an RSS Feed is on that forum:
The RSS feed basically takes all the new posts on the bulletin board and turns them into one compilation (organized chronologically) of the new posts. Most blogs and online sources that provide regular and multiple updates to their sites (news, bulletin boards, etc.) will use a feed to make new postings available to readers. You "subscribe" to a site's feed using a piece of software called a Feed Reader (I use Google Reader, which is free, online, and runs through the regular web browser), which I then use to group and read the feeds I follow from different sites, in one single handy-dandy little window. Kind of like a getting an email for each post, but they are grouped by source and won't clutter your email inbox.
On Ranchers.net, this allows me to read all the new posts in one spot rather than going into each Forum and checking every subject individually for new posts. And I see only postings I haven't read yet, and can then click back to that particular conversation on the Ranchers site if I want to see the stream of related posts in one spot.
