Forum Feeds

I generally get new messages via feeds with Windows Live Mail.

Sometimes, I get the messages within minutes, other times a whole day's worth in one go.

Is this normal? I have no idea of the feeds are controlled by the Forum software, if they are "queued" at mirco$oft for Windows Dead Mail or what? Anyone know why the arrival time of messages is so random?

(Guess Per might say it's because I don't know where Santa's home is...)

The Forum RSS feed updates pretty much instantly once there is a new post.

Not sure how Windows Mail handles it's subscriptions though :(


Edit: Just tested the forum RSS feed after I posted this, it updated straight away.

Agreed - I just noticed that (using RSS in Internet Exploder).

Blame it on M$ (as usual).

Hi Dilwyn,

I get QL Forum and the German QL Forum via RSS feed into Thunderbird. All works perfectly.

I would check out the email client RSS feed option.
