Just so you know, we have been hard at work implementing a LOT of new changes around the website, trying new plug-ins for vBulletin, and trying to improve the look and feel of various things.

We will still have Stickies at the top of the forum, but we are going to take the "static" and locked items and put them in the new Forum Header in Yellow. We will reserve the Red Stickies for things that we need to "pin up for a bit" or hot topics. One of my concerns for the Yellow header was being able to look and see when it has been posted in. If a thread can be posted in by the users, it won't show up in the Forum Header, but instead will remain a sticky.

We are currently working on a Wiki that ties in to the forum heavily, so that the search feature will also search the Wiki. This is why we haven't had a Wiki before it, as we didn't want to have two websites to go through. So over the next couple of months, the Wiki will start to become visible, and our FAQs should start to get moved to the Wiki for everyone to be able to contribute and edit, which should improve the FAQs.

We have added some new features to the responding, including "Multi-quotes" where you can click multiple people, and then click "Quote User" and it will quote everyone. We added quick ways to submit a post to your favorite news place (Digg, del.icio.us, technorati, and furl).

After the many requests, we have also improved the front page of the website, updating the news engine, and improving the look and feel, as well as making it MUCH easier to add news. We are also working on making sure new news items are posting on the homepage so that we keep that content fresh.

We have many more ideas and enhancements happening, so keep an eye out on the forums!

any chance of getting a RSS feed for say the last 20 posts?

There is an RSS feed for each forum, although it does the newest "threads" and not posts.

The best place to ask about this is in the Site and Suggestions forum...

Actually I just talked to Convergent, and he pointed me to the RSS information. I read up, and if you add:

&lastpost=true

to the end of your RSS link, it will show the most recent threads (so basically a copy of the forum listing) instead of just the newest started threads.

We will probably be updating all the RSS links shortly...

OK. So maybe i'm a dummy and I did search for "RSS" with 0 reults found..

Could you post the fuL RSS URL here please?

thanks!

is something going to be done about lite version of the skin to the forum (the one that's supposed to be "mobile friendly")? the announcements break the format and make the page stretch out.

nice job on all the additions though... keep up the good work.

This seems to do the trick (adding to my PageFlakes and iGoogle pages and Sage Feeds)

*Right Click - Copy Link Location or the like

Cool changes

Since this is a discussion of new stuff... also notice that a feature has been added to let you donate to someone that has helped you out... if you wish. This is for anyone to use... if you frequently help people out, throw your Paypal ID in your profile and maybe someone will kick you a little coin. I've not ever seen this done on another forum that I've been on, so we'll have to see how it works out. I get messages from people all the time asking if they can make a donation because they've gotten a lot of help here... this would be a great way to do it... not to the site, but to the actual member that helped you out. Donating to other members will help the site by helping encourage them when they help you out. The site gets nothing from the donations other than more happy members. You can learn more about this in the Site News forum.

Thanks much for sending this link! I searched everywhere for over 45 mins. and still never found it. Now, I haven't searched again since you said your "adding to my PageFlakes and Google..."

But sincere thanks!

New main device page... http://pdaphonehome.com/?page=i730 ... beta at this point, but will be rolling these out for all the devices, along with a navigation tool on the home page to pick a device by the picture. Links on this page to everything... some stuff still empty as it needs to get moved from the forum to the wiki.

I think it would be nice if you also listed if the manufacturer/carrier provided updates for the device. For example saying that the i730's original OS was 2003 but an upgrade was offered to WM5

Is it just me or is the RSS feed "broken"?

Not to be annoying, but is there any news on this? I tried searching to no avail.
Is there a solution? It was a real nice feature.
