What is an RSS feed?

Have been on several internet forums recently that have a button on their various subforums marked "RSS". It appears to be some sort of file synchronising function, can anybody explain what is does/ how it works? The G4 owners forums are one of the baords that I browse and they have just added it. www.g4ownersclub.com 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

It's a way of publishing constantly updated data for people to subscribe to - like news tickers, weather reports etc in a lightweight form.

Martin used to run an RSS feed from this site too, but a) found it was underused and b) found that when it was used, it was the cause of a lot of performance problems....

Useful technology though Thumbs Up

It'll be making a comeback here but I need to decide how best to manage it and what info to publish in it Smile Like this site? Buy some RRSPORT goodies to show your support!
