Due to server slowness, downtime, and other issues, guests can no longer search the forum or view user accounts. At some point in the future Eclipse will be moving to a more stable and efficient platform that should result in much better stability and the lifting of these restrictions. There is no timeline for this yet, just want you to know what's happening with all the downtime and I have a plan to fix it.

Smartfeed

With Smartfeed you can create your own personalized newsfeed from posts on this board and read them with the newsreader of your choice.

Smartfeed also supports a topic feed. You need to know the topic number to use this option and it can be used only for a single topic. The easiest way to get a feed URL for a particular topic is to view the page source when on the topic page of interest. You will find the URL in the markup in a <link> tag. It will look something like this: /app.php/smartfeed/feed?tf=123. Copy that link into your newsreader.

Forum selection


Bolded forum names, if any, are forums that the administrator requires to be shown in any newsfeed. You cannot unselect these forums. Forum names that have strikethrough text are not allowed in a newsfeed and cannot be selected. If logged in then all forum selection is disabled when you select bookmarked topics only.

Post filters


Include posts over this time range up to the present in the newsfeed. Irrespective of the time periods shown, this board has a set limit of 30 days beyond which no posts can be retrieved. This is necessary to ensure that fetching feeds does not slow down overall access to this forum.

If zero, any number of items can be in the feed.

If zero, there are no minimum number of words required. This limit does not apply to private messages.

Additional criteria


Default order is the order used by phpBB if you don’t change it in the User Control Panel. By default, posts in the feed are shown in category order (ascending), then forum order (ascending) within categories, then last topic post time (descending) within a forum and then post time (ascending) within a topic.

If zero, a post or private message can be of any size in the feed up to the board limit, if any. Note: if not zero, then to ensure consistent rendering, if a post or private message must be truncated, the HTML will be removed.

Keeps the forum name appearing in the item title, which results in a more succinct item title.

The feed will show the topic title rather than the post subject. This avoids a lot of "Re:" from appearing in the item's title.

The feed will not show the poster's name in the item's title. This is useful for rendering nicer looking feed titles.

Format & access control


Please note that the amount of feed styling actually applied depends on the capabilities of your news reader. Most news readers will not apply all HTML styles. Place your cursor over the style text to learn more. Note: styling does not apply to items in the feed that come from external feeds required by the administrator.



Generate & view feed


To copy it, click on the URL. All text will be automatically selected. Then copy and paste it in your news reader.
