I'm very pleased to announce a new OptiBoard feature -

OptiBoard Syndicated News!

This feature allows anyone to add a section to their own web site that displays the 10 most recent topics on OptiBoard. Since this topic list is updated every 10 minutes, people using the news feed will always be assured of up-to-date content.

To add OptiBoard Syndicated News to your own site, simply place the following code in your HTML source at the point you want the news to appear:

<script language="JavaScript"
src="http://www.optiboard.com/forums/latest_topics.js"></script>If you'd like it formatted into it's own table, use this:

<table border=0>
<tr>
<td width=250>
<script language="JavaScript"
src="http://www.optiboard.com/forums/latest_topics.js"></script>
</td>
</tr>
</table>Here's an example of the output:

http://www.optiboard.com/newsfeed.html

I am putting together an OptiBoard Affiliates page containing links to all the sites running the newsfeed. So if you add it, please email me with the URL to the page containng the newsfeed and I'll add your site to the page.

Here's the first website that's reported using the OptiBoard newsfeed. It's the site of our very own John R!

Be sure to let me know if you are using the newsfeed so I can add your site to the OptiBoard Affiliates page I am putting together.
