The Joomla! Forum™

Thanks, Amy. A good number of people out there -- including myself -- keep a much closer eye on their feed readers than their inboxes.

I just couldn't figure out why Bloglines was choking on it (even if I change the feed type to Atom etc.), ESPECIALLY since Bloglines reads other, similar feeds for other Joomla boards perfectly, e.g.: m So I trie...

Great to see a forum that addresses just security announcements. Also good to see  there's an RSS feed for this: m Though it looks like the element in the feed is a little too vague. m Which can/will confuse feed readers (Bloglines is giving me ALL joomla forum posts -- not just security announ...
