If you use Firefox, My Yahoo, or another RSS-enabled program, you can pull feeds from the PPG forum to your RSS browser.
For instance, to display recently-updated topics in a My Yahoo module, just go to Add Content, Add RSS By URL, and enter the following:
http://forums.pocketplane.net/index.php?type=rss;action=.xml;limit=6
(You can change the 6 to whatever value you choose.)

Hm, when I get my computer back, I'll d/l firefox to use this. Thanks JC.

Just a quick note, Yahoo's ad hoc RSS support might be a little flaky in the early going, but the link works properly in Firefox.

Kewl, sadly I do not use Yahoo, but RSS is the way to go. ;) Trailblazing the community technology. I like that.

I love my RSS feed. :-*

A small step for mankind, but a big step for my daily shedule.

^ All too soon, that thanks shall become curses as you are crushed beneath the weight of your 23910423598 RSS feeds! ;D

Fancy, fancy.

I'm not that obsessed with the RSS. :-[
I might be lying.

How do I add the RSS feed from PPG to Firefox? I have a RSS viewer installed but everytime I drag and drop the link it tells me that the file does not exist and gfives me a 404 error
-
I added it to Firefox via Bookmarks. Manage bookmarks: File -> New Live Bookmark
-
in firefox:
Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks.
then in the Bookmarks Manager:
File -> New Live Bookmark -> paste the PPG URL into the 'feed location' field.
[EDIT] Kismet beat me to it.

Ahhh! Thanks guys :-)
