NEONEWS UPDATE

It's already been a few month since we launched the online versions of the "Neocronicle" and the "Voice of the Resistance".
So far your feedback has been great. It also encouraged & very much helped us to further improve the magazines. http://forum.neocron.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

According to the "Storyline & Event Feedback (http://forum.neocron.com/showthread.php?t=131892)" Threads, many people believe it is too hard and/or complicated to access the webzines. In addition, it was noted that people would like reminders that indicate a news-update. Therefor we would like to provide you more ways of keeping in touch with the storyline-proceeding and gameworld news. We are happy to be able to announce two first improvements in that regard.

RSS FEED
To begin with, a feature that was missed & requested by many people is now available again: RSS Feeds.

Cronicle Post Feed: -subscribe- (http://www.neocronicle.com/?feed=rss2) ||| Cronicle Comments Feed: -subscribe- (http://www.neocronicle.com/?feed=comments-rss2)

VotR Post Feed: -subscribe- (http://www.votr-mag.com/?feed=rss2) ||| VotR Comments Feed: -subscribe- (http://www.votr-mag.com/?feed=comments-rss2)

Please note that not all browsers allow RSS subscriptions by derfault. If you dont know how to use RSS, these links might be useful for you:
What is RSS? (Wikipedia) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_(file_format))
RSS Readers. (blogspace.com | a few examples) (http://blogspace.com/rss/readers)

SIGNATURES
You are also welcome to make use of the new signatures. Feel free to use them in any way you like - as a signature arround here, somewhere else or include them in your website (although you might find RSS more useful for that task). The signatures will automaticly update on new articles.

Large Signatures:

I do like the new signatures :D although i think i'll have to remake my broken-reality banner at the same width hehe.

Good to see our views are being taken in from the feedback thread! :)

@ Tratos - you really don't want to read the Neocronicle it's full of propganda. :D

I've added the little sig to my sig, need to think about a new signature I think!

...and now the THN (http://www.techhaven.org/) is now showing off the small sigs in the advertising area, and the RSS feeds.

Nice work!

Sounds good to get new updates. It would interesting if the story line could be better known to those who dont read the forums (the majority of players dont me thinks)

I know I bang on about this all the time, but this still doesn't get people's attention for those who don't frequent the forums. I know the launcher currently has links to the chronicle/votr in the news window, but these will fall away when other stuff comes up there.

Putting the two smaller sig links/images at the top of the launcher would be awesome.

Additionaly a nice big link to both the official site and the forums up there would be nice too. Especially the forum, we could use more people around here to put across their views especially when Dirus starts beating Neocron's balance into submission.

Even if there was just an RSS ticker in the launcher which cycled through the forum, Neocronicle, VoTR and official site like on the THN (http://techhaven.org/) it would be an improvement since the RSS is available.

You mean the RSS feeds? They work for me. What RSS reader are you using?

I have now tried 3 different RSS feeds and none of them work for the posts.

Comments works fine.

The RSS syntax issue is being resolved as I write this line - if you continue to have trouble with the RSS feed, please let us know. ;)

well... no - apparently the host had a problem with the fileserver, resulting in a *cough* rollback *cough* of all the files ...including the very one thats responsible for updating the signatures. Should be all up to date & fine again now :angel:

Thanks for pointing out that one - the archives for neocronicle.com and neocronicle.de have been updated to match the new file locations. You'll also find the the old(!!) neocronicle editions up there now. ;)
