How to use MoneySavingExpert with RSS readers

mike_paterson

Having tried to find out how to enable RSS feeds to read certain forums in Outlook as I used to do, I found out that with the current Vanilla Forums software, you simply add "/feed.rss" to the URL. 

e.g. for this Techie Stuff forum, the rss feed is https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/post/discussion/techie-stuff/feed.rss

Hope this helps some of you.

Hi - are you finding that the MSE news page RSS no longer works with many readers ? Seems to get a 503 error, even with RSS validators such as https://validator.w3.org/feed/. The validator also rejects the format in your message above, which I was hoping to use.

@stuartm I'm also finding that the MSE news RSS doesn't work for me. I think they have the site running through CloudFlare protection now and forgot to exclude their RSS feed from this meaning that it no longer works for me in TTRSS.

I’m pretty sure that’s the issue. I asked their support team and they’ve been looking into it for a coupe of weeks but no sign of a resolution. The RSS feed works with a small number of readers but I was using it with IFTTT which no longer works.
