RSS - testers needed

Post by Hans »

All,

We have been been busy with the RSS feed for this new Message Board. Basically this is now ready for roll out.

But before we encounter the same issues with it as with the one in the old MB, I would like to do some "stress testing", meaning I need as many users as possible to to test this RSS feed at the same time, so I can monitor how the database holds.

I would like to do this test next Tuesday (6 January) around 21:00 CET.

So when you use RSS, and are willing to spend some time at above time, please send me a private message.

Regards,

Hans

Hi,

For some additional functionality in the RSS feed, I would like to have some testers.
When you are a regular RSS user, and would like to help me (and all other users!), please drop me a private message.

Regards,

Hans

All,

With almost 3400 registered users, and probably hundreds of RSS users, and several requests for more flexibility of those RSS feeds expressed on this Message Board, it is a bit surprising only two users reacted to my request and actually did some testing.

I still need (want) some extra testers this week, otherwise this new RSS functionality will be put in the freezer for the foreseeable future, and I will move on to other projects on my list.

Don't think it is very hard or time consuming; actually it is not harder then setting up a new feed in your favorite reader, and will take only 10 to 15 minutes to do this testing, so anybody who uses RSS can do this!

Regards,
