Some of the forums have got a red square with the letters RSS in the top left hand corner. If you click on the square, a page of HTML code is revealed. Any ideas why has this feature appeared?

This is a newsfeed (Really Simple Syndication - or whatever RSS stands for today). You need a news reader to make sense of the HTML you've seen. If you use Opera as a browser then this will automatically be recognized.

| Trev, if you want to try this on your PDA then get News Break from www.iliumsoft.com (thanks for the hint Lutz its great), load it on to the PDA and configure it, you get 30 days free trial for an added bonus. It will work when docked to an internet connected PC or via GPRS through the mobile phone, or inbuilt connection dependent upon which device you own - then you get upto date info direct to the PDA from the site wherever you are - Mike |

Thanks Mike and Lutz.
Coincidently I discovered an explanation of the RSS newfeed on the BBC website this afternoon.
My news reader is AGENT, any idea if it will work? Can't try it myself at present as I'm at work......
