   Hello everyone ;)

   I'm not sure if this is the right place to request new features from GOTD, but I have had a look around the site and can't find what I need.

   Yahoo! 360 has <EM>thousands upon thousands of subscribers</EM> that all have the option to link to one another as friends. It's very much like myspace ~ only I know for a fact that many are moving from there to Yahoo! 360 these days as it's so uncluttered with advertisements.

   Would it please be possible to have an RSS feed to people's Yahoo! 360 websites? Everyone has room for 3 RSS feeds which <EM>displays prominently</EM> on their main page, so can't be missed. People are often following up on each others` feeds and subscribing.

   I believe this would be a brilliant move on your part. I hope we can see a follow-up on this. :)

   I really love GOTD! ;) (Can't you tell?!?)

   Kind regards,<BR>

   P.S. Is there a reason that we're unable to use <P></P> here?

   Hello Lee,

   It's not like I do it on purpose.

   Is this how you talk to one of your members that visit this site every single day, always refers others here - and consistently thanks you for this GOTD site?

   You're rude Lee.

   The site already has RSS feeds for descriptions of the prgrams offered each day. Possibly there may be one for comments as well but not sure about that, I only subscribe to the program one.

   I am not sure how Yahoo 360 works but anything that could possibly facilitate users contacting each other privately from this site might not be a good idea. Some people may abuse it by sharing registration codes for expired offers. Developers wouldn't like that at all and this site depends on developers' cooperation to continue offering programs.

   This site also has RSS feeds for each topic in the forums - if you want to watch for replies - or just add the topic to "your favorites" (at the top of the page) - then in your profile - check the box to receive an email on updates to favorite topics.

   But in terms of encouraging users to make private contact with each other - not likely. (If you are really desperate for a friend... you could PM an admin or moderator. Or rather than wanting to discuss a problem solution or tips privately with one user - why not post in these forums and let everyone benefit from your experiences and suggestions)

   Hi Bubby and Lady Godiva ;)

   I actually meant the feed for the giveaways not the forums - I apologize for not making myself clearer. I had hoped you could add another button alongside the myspace (same as 360,) and other buttons on the right hand side of the GOTD page.

   Regarding contacting each other - I'm not sure what you see the difference is between Myspace and 360 - they both operate the same way, you're able to configure it to ignore anyone you want, and yet you do provide a myspace button.

   As for being "desperate for friends," *sighs*

   No Bubby - I just wanted to to do something nice for GOTD by advertising them on my 360. I don't like advertising buttons or banners, so this was just an alternative way of accomplishing that, since the feeds appear right on the front page of everyone's 360.

   Thank you both for replying,
   ~ Swan
