Hello everyone!
Today I have implemented a new feature to every new resource section. RSS FEEDS!
You can now subscribe to models, skins, icons, tools and packs if you want to.

Here is how you do it:
Simply go to your favorite section, click the RSS icon and select the section.
The RSS icon looks like this:

If your browser doesn't have it. Download FireFox

An RSS feed is simply an (XML) list of items that a site can publish. Certain programs, such as the web browser, can check the feed periodically and read the list of items contained in it.

That way, sites can publish their "latest content" in a feed, and someone else can read the feed with their browser and always have an up-to-date list of the latest things without actually having to visit the site.
 
Yeah, instead of just keep on finding the links and everything again. But it also:

Samuraid's explanation is kind of confusing. Focus on the last sentence and it will be pretty easy to understand.

Good work Ralle! I remember TheNisse proposed an RSS Feed so long ago and it was you that had no idea what it was :smile:

To all those still confused: An RSS feed is just an easy way of being delivered the latest news, for example, if you were subscribed to a News Feed, it would provide you with the header titles for the latest breaking news, you click on it, it directs you to a link, etc.

Feeds just make things handy and accessable.
