All is explained within. We've noticed and sort of helped push the ad-hoc use of the "<a href="http://ask.metafilter.com/tags/resolved">resolved</a>" tag to Ask MeFi posts where you tried out the advice and it worked or you figured out the name of the book you were looking for. Recently, we mods have taken it upon ourselves to scope out old threads that were getting updates and applying the tag wherever we could. It's always nice to know people solved their problems but there was no easy way to highlight a 7 month old thread where someone figured out the perfect solution. So we added a sidebar on the "<a href="http://ask.metafilter.com/home/answered">answered</a>" tab of Ask MeFi, ordered by how recently the resolved tag was added to them. There's also <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/mefi/resolved">a feed</a> if you really like closure and want to see new ones added automatically. We hope people continue to use the tag to mark off their questions when they're done and have posted updates late in the thread. The other new feature is a feed for popular posts (<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/mefi/PopularPosts">RSS</a>) and popular comments (<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/mefi/PopularComments">RSS</a>) across all MeFi sites. Before today, you would have to glance at <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/favorites/all">the page</a> to keep up, but now you can add the feeds to your RSS reader of choice (it works great in Google Reader) and you'll see 2-3 new posts or comments in each feed per day. I've been following both feeds for about a week and they're great -- the posts feed is mostly Ask MeFi and it's definitely the best of the best, the comments feed is half jokey quips and half super useful comments from mefi or ask mefi where someone explains the hell out of something. tag:metatalk.metafilter.com,2008:site.16369 Tue, 17 Jun 2008 13:18:54 -0800 favorites feeds rss rssfeeds mathowie http://metatalk.metafilter.com/11301/Can%2Dwe%2DRSS%2Dfor%2Dposts%2Dand%2Dcomments It would be cool to have RSS feeds on a per user basis. I'm thinking mainly posts but comments would be fine too. Something like <b>http://www.metafilter.com/username.mefi/user/posts.rss</b> and <b>http://www.metafilter.com/username.mefi/user/comments.rss</b>. It'd be a great way to keep up with people whose stuff you enjoy (like everyone's <a href="http://ask.metafilter.com/search_threads.mefi?user_ID=17564">favorite</a>) w/o getting lost in the volume. tag:metatalk.metafilter.com,2006:site.11301 Tue, 14 Feb 2006 08:58:41 -0800 comments pony rss rssfeed rssfeeds users xmutex
