Can we have an RSS feed for the chat forums please

It would be very handy to be able to subscribe to an RSS feed for each of the chat forums - it would be a big help for keeping up to date with at least the subject lines of new items.

    It's like a constantly changing bookmark folder some browsers can use

    For example, at time of writing, (7.09) the Latest Headlines (from BBC) folder in my bookmarks look like this this.

    Later tonight when I look it will have different headlines

    yes :)

    for example
    goto http://news.bbc.co.uk/ and you will see a little orange icon appear at the bottom RIGHT of your browser (right above the clock if the window is fulscreen)
    Click it and the option to subscribe usually appears.

    Some sites make it a little more difficult

    For example here you would click on the "xml" link you're interested in,

    copy the url address for the page that appears,

    Go into Manage Bookmarks then File/New live bookmark

    Paste the address

    As noted before - at the moment YAbb is struggling and we're looking at a board upgrade. After that we hope to add RSS feeds
