Hi,
I am looking for a feed from IHub that will give me just information on how many post were made on a given day on particular stock.
I have tried to search the board for information but had no luck.
Appreciate your help.
Reg.
Is there an RSS feed for the post stream?
So is there a way to rss feed a members posts into twitter?
Is there any magic parameter to fetch the RSS feed for a message board WITHOUT the board description in the returned content? Some of the board descriptions are HUGE and it's a big waste of bandwidth.
I would like to have the RSS feed for each users...
same as the following request..
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=21990802
Hmm... well, the little RSS button is on that link I provided, I thought maybe they wanted people to use it?
But I'd guess they only want people to display somewhere else what they want displayed... so they only provide 7 days worth of stuff...
I must confess, this RSS thing confuses me... I know people use RSS feeds on blogs so that they have current news, information, whatever, streaming on their site to keep it looking current...
But what's the purpose of a feed if you want 1/7th of your content to go away every day? Don't take a vacation, you'll miss it...
Like I said... RSS feeds... I just don't get it...
It's up to the provider. As for taking Pinksheet's rss feed and posting it here, I think Pinksheets might take offense to that. They sell data feeds - don't know what there policy is on what they make available via rss.
How does one go about retrieving older entries in an RSS Feed?
This Feed only goes back 7 days.
Is it up to the provider?
Is there some creative way for an end user to "archive" this RSS feed material in an automated way (i.e. turn an RSS Feed into an iHub post in an AUTOMATED way)...
TIA for reading #msg-42907274

I have added the RSS feed of JGBO on my mobile phone (Sony Ericsson C902), but it gives an error that there is no valid feed?
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/rss.asp?board_id=743
Am i doing something wrong or is there a problem with the RSS-feed?
If you go here: www.acemagoo.com
Select: Stocks ==> I-HUB RSS Feed
Enter the board_id number and refresh rate
HOW DO i GET IT TO WORK THROUGH OUTLOOK 07 - I HAVE BEEN TRYING WITH NO SUCCESS - THANKS
FYI For OS 10.5 RSS there is a widget download
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/news/rssreader.html
you can do that with excel web queries...I use them already for some posters, import as html...and each message is a hot link to the post. You can also construct it with an input box, so you can choose which poster to check up on. run some macros, and you can keep track of almost anything, self updating....or refresh when you want
I've added your suggestion to the project queue.
Thank You Very Much.
All The Best-RE:PM.
WAAAAAAAAAAY more efficient.
will "streaming" make me a more efficient stalker? lol
guilty as charged!
You did a feed on my stalkee? lol
RSS suggestion...
I'd like to see RSS feeds of any member's most recent 50 comments. Like those seen here:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_person.asp?membernum=25583
The second url is the correct one. The first one takes you to a page that walks you through adding the feed.
I've added RSS Autodiscovery to board pages. You should be able to put the url for a particular board into your feed reader and it will discover the correct feed now.
Depending on what browser you're using, you should see an orange striped rss icon light up on your browser indicating that it sees a feed. Firefox 2.0 and IE 7 both work for this.
For any of you RSS junkies out there, I'd love an assistant (or 2, or 3, or 4) at my new RSS and YOU board.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=10027
Either way, please stop by and say "hey."
Thank You!
I wouldn't worry too much about that since it's text and not graphics. Pretty small stuff unless every IHUB member goes RSS nuts.
Matt... I'd really like to see the posts lengthened from 60 characters to about 200 characters. That would help out A TON!!!
I'm planning on putting up a "how-to do RSS" board shortly.
This seems to be a Ihub issue. The URLs are not consistant and many readers will not read the Ihub feeds.
First the URLs:
The RSS orange link URL doesn't match the RSS webpage URL. Is this causing problems?

http://www.investorshub.com/boards/rss.asp?board_id=###
I've tried several news readers and only about half seem to be able to read the feed. iGoogle can do it via work-around link, but it doesn't update often enough, maybe once a day.
Bloglines seems to work fine too. Other readers seem to just hang or cannot find the feed.
FYI, iGoogle not finding Ihub feeds directly.
If I use the "add stuff", "by URL" feature in iGoogle it returns:
"Not Found: http://www.investorshub.com/boards/rss_add.asp?board_id=1025"
(BTW, this only happens with Ihub URLs, other websites work.)
If I use Ihub's "add it to google" and "add it to the homepage" it seems to work.
Why one and not the other? Not sure but Google needs to correct this if Ihub users are to have options.
I have an RSS reader on my blackberry. Is there anyway i can get teh boards to show up on my blackberry? I tried the RSS link but it gave me an error. Any thoughts would be helpful.
Thanks in Advance.
Does anyone know how to get this to work in outlook 2007?
Google Reader.
I just added this link http://www.investorshub.com/boards/rss.asp?board_id=949
into my Google RSS reader (reader.google.com) and it doesn't display the messages properly at all in there. I think it's because the BBS you use doesn't use subjects, so it's taking the message itself and trying to ram it into the subject field and its taking peoples signatures and making them the meat of the post.
Hopefully, a way to resolve this could be found because RSS is awesome.
Thanks,
Steve
Success in adding Zeev's board. I tried it again last night and it worked flawlessly so maybe there was a glitch on Google's end or the I-Hub servers coming back on line. I do suggest you add a button to automatically add an RSS feed to the Google personal home page just like you have for Yahoo etc.
I am trying to add Zeev's No-Politics board RSS to my Google Personalized home page by the url. Every time I try it says it can't be found. All I am doing is cutting and pasting the url that is provided on the RSS page. Is anyone else having this problem?
By the way, if I click on the add to yahoo icon it gets added right away. How about an add to google icon
Thank you
I guess not..lol thanks matt for your timely response..lol
Can I use the RSS feature to read my favorite posters in a glimpse instead of going to where they post all the time?
Thanks.. open to new ideas and apps.
When I saw the three options available the one that stood out was the "+YAHOO" stuff. Not bad but why must I go elsewhere when my browser itself is capable?
(To me the best thing about Firefox is richness of all the addons by the community. I have found the entire Mozilla.com site to be a filled with a wealth of great apps - with Sunbird (Calendar); Thunderbird (Email) and Firefox the most notable. What products can be without being made by a monopoly.)
At any rate, my thoughts stand but I will check out the bloglines. Further, I know there are extensions that improve upon the RSS feeds and will review that too (I think one of them kept track of read headlines).
Appreciate the help!

Sexton, for what it's worth, here's my two cents. I use firefox sometimes, but they way they use rss really doesn't give you the full depth of how valuable rss can be to you.
You might give bloglines a try. Disregard the name. RSS kind of developed amongst blog writers and that's why it's called Bloglines. But you can use it on anything that has a feed. You can set it so that only new items show up. That's one of the main benefits of RSS in the first place -- you don't have to go around checking everyplace for new content, you simply get notified whenever there is new content. Saves you all the hassle of checking everything and having to read the headlines and say, "have I already read this story?" If no new content, you don't waste time checking.
They also have keyboard shortcuts so you can zip through stuff really quickly.
FIREFOX: I was wondering if there would be direct support of RSS within Firefox?
When you go to a page that has RSS feeds, an icon appears (bottom right). You can then click it and it shows "subscribe to..". From there I choose then add it to a bookmark (I use LIVE) - basically this becomes a LIVE bookmark.
I select the LIVE folder from bookmarks then the name of the subscribed feed (says Latest News from Reuters >) it then shows a list of the latest stories (after updating).
So in theory if I subscribe to 5 boards I should see each board in my live folder then as I select each it shows the posting.
Not sure if this was asked - or thought of. This is native in Firefox.
(and the entire world can say "we don't support that" as every bank and brokerage does, but I use it exclusively without any problems on my sites)
Anyways would be great to go to Mostly Classical - and see the icon below then I could click it and say subscribe.
At any rate, great improvement!
Cheers

Sludge, to be able to reply within QT, make sure that you are logged in via IE and set it so the login is remembered.
Thx Matt guess Login & Qt no matter
According to msg here, the iHub login & psd don't need to get set in Quotetracker (If QT even accepts them at all - I never set them myself).
Clever that Yahoo's User Page can take the iHub RSS too.
Hadn't thought of that. But my Yahpp page os pretty full
anyway. LOL Maybe worth a shot for awhile. If gets too busy then just drop it.
Interesting Matt, One can pipe IHUB directly into Quotetracker news reader and have multiple boards fed in with RSS, all interlaced with streaming news apparently... Haven't figured out how to make it log into IHUB so one can reply to the posts yet though, user id / password doesn't seem to work... Also looks like QT will only check every 10 minutes. Not sure if this is a useful feature for me or not, but nice to know it is there.
Tks, Some sites need to be refreshed more quickly, otherwise it isn not worth it.
Tks Jerry, You are the best!
extelecom, QT uses the user setting for the RSS refresh, BUT if the RSS feed has a restriction specified, QT does not go below that restriction. I looked at the iHub RSS data and there is a 10 min flag:
<ttl>10</ttl>
That is because Yahoo polls (checks for new content) only once an hour. You will not get the information instantly. RSS is a "pull" technology rather than a "push" technology (like email).
If too many people are polling a feed all at the same time, or too often, it can cause real problems for whoever is running the servers. Anything more than about once an hour is too much. The web-based centralized aggregators like yahoo, bloglines, msn, googlereader, etc, usually poll about once an hour but they also don't poll every single feed at exactly the same time, otherwise there would be this huge load coming at the top of the hour from everyone. (This is a problem with many desktop aggregators, because their default setting is to poll at the top of the hour, so sites get this big rush all at once.)
In normal web surfing, it's true that at some sites you may actually sit there and hit the refresh key every minute or two. But very, very rarely. With RSS, a machine is essentially doing that to every single site that you have as a feed, whether you ever go there or not, whether you truly need the information or not. This is needlessly wasteful. No one needs to keep pounding 50, or 100, or 200 sites checking for updates every two minutes. No one can possibly visit all those sites every two minutes. Once an hour is plenty.
Matt, Still playing with this RSS thing... FYI, I noticed when I click on RSS button and then click on Yahh. that some boards show up to date and some do not... For instance, Zeev's board shows "last post about 1 hour ago", when in fact there are newer posts... Other boards are up to date.
Jerry, Is there a way to make it refresh more often than 10 minutes? Every time I changed it, it reverted back to 10 minutes?
Hi Matt,
BTW, if you want the RSS "headlines" retrieved from IHub into QT to show up for a given symbol, you can add a tag in the RSS feed with the symbol. Don't remember of the top of my head which tag. I think its just <SYMBOL>DELL</SYMBOL> inside each ITEM tag. SYMBOL is not a supportes RSS tag, so it will just be ignored by all other readers.
If you want to do that, just let me know and I will check on the exact name of the tag for you
Matt, I am pretty sure it won't show just the IH posts about a certain ticker, I think it shows all.
I couldn't change the refresh rate from 10 minutes and I could not get it to log into IHUb so I could post replies...
Matt, came across this today, thought you might be interested: http://www.rss-specifications.com/rss-top-10.htm
