Can I follow a specific subforum with google reader?

[nzdreamer55]

Hello,

I am trying to follow multiple forums and though, there must be a way and then I though, what about google reader. I checked and it is possible if the forum publish what get's posted via rss. Does Androidforums.com publish their forums and subforums via rss? Is this a feature that is left to the VIP clients? If they don't publish all of them, is there a way to get just one?

Thanks

I think you can subscribe sub forums without any restriction.

Application sub forum Rss : - Android Forums - Android Applications

New post sub forum Rss:- http://androidforums.com/external.php?type=RSS2

Game sub forum Rss:- http://androidforums.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=5

I used Desktop Firefox for generate Rss!

How did you generate these links?

When I go to a subforum, I don't see any rss feed link to copy into my reader. When I look at the bottom of an individual post there is the google link, stumbleUpon, del.icio.us, and Digg links that I can click on and use, but not subforums.

Thanks for the reply

Sorry, i can't understand! If i correctly understand what you say, I think if someone publish new replay or thread it instantly update( not sure).

Thanks for the link. Just a FYI it didn't subscribe to just the sub forum. I am getting posts but am not sure from what forums. They are all over the place so maybe it is all of them? I tried just subscribing via androidforums.com into the URL space for Google reader and it gave me the same thing. I think that there is a balance between ease of use and advertising dollars that the forums get by visiting so I can see how they wouldn't want to have people not visit their site.
