I would use the RSS feed, except it requires athentication. Not good if you use anything other than Internet Explorer as your news reader. I brought this up when they rtolled it out, not sure if it is fixed yet, plust I dont know how to subscribe to a feed that requires auth, is there a way?

That's a good question.  Here's another one. 

--Working with Internet Explorer (most people) --
How fast should RSS feeds work?  If we subscribe to the feed yesterday and today there are 10 new topics/replies (5 in morning & 5 in afternoon), then which should we see in the feed?

Let's do this by the numbers:
1- Click on the RSS feed icon - and subscribe.
2- View your new feed - to get updates

When set to default - the viewer updates the feed once a day.  You can "view feed properties" and change the settings and frequency of the updates.

The RSS feed for BICSI works the exact same way you see it as if you were browsing by website, the newst stuff at the top, so a reply would force the thread to the top. It's a little different than say a website that posts new stories and the flow in one direction.

Also, I don;t think most people use IE for a news reader, there are soo many more available that are way better. Even the online ones are better, it's too bad it requires auth.
