Playing around with igoogle homepage right now. Shame I cannot find a way to get an equivalent to the spy for LFGSS working.
Just thought that that would be a cool feature for the forum.

Maybe possible with RSS reader?
How often does the RSS update?

Feel free to write one, the RSS feed URLs are in the top of every page with specific feeds for forum and threads available on those pages.

The RSS is updated whenever requested, but if you request more than once every 5 minutes we just ignore you.

Pull it from the live updates page? I know shit bugger all, but that must have a feed somewhere... right?

It's probably too complex for you. It renders Xml containing updates since a given UNIX datetime in a way that is optimised for the live updates page. It's not RSS. You'd definitely need to do a stack of work to get that going.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
