Red face Web Feeds?
Hello!
I've never used web feeds before, so this is all new to me, So I hope someone can give me some pointers as what to do?
What to I add to the address on the web feeds section on the today panel to allow them to update?
As I don't really know what I'm talking about its hard to explain what I mean, but I know where to add the feed, but what do I add?

I've tried to add this forum to my X1 feeds but when I click on the feed icon on this site it brings up a load of words, I tried copying the address and pasting that onto my feeds and I also tried copying all the text? I'm probably being thick but I just can't get it to work, but as I said I don't really know what i'm doing, maybe someone out there can help me?

Don't forget that when you paste the link into the empty block you will need to tweak the setting to then include it on the today page

Erm? That is what the second panel is for. There are prepared feed slots so you need only to insert the correct address. No tweaking.

lol just got back from work

yh unless the website has a separate link for rss feeds, you wont be able to see them as feeds. they program those links to work with certain devices such as the x1 who can take the feeds. i just found this out yesterday too after playing with the panels...so anyone else who knows better than me please shout out
