Newbie RSS Questions

I don’t normally use RSS feeds, and I tried searching the forums but couldn’t find my scenario.

I’m trying to figure out how to subscribe to a RSS feed from Microsoft Answers.

For example, Redirecting

When I click on the subscribe button and choose the option to subscribe to the feed, it downloads a text file in XML format. I don’t know what to do from that point onwards, but I’ve tried the URLs, and that didn’t work.

I don’t know if this is a valid/supported feature, but is it possible, and how do I configure it to work?

A quick look at the inspector showed me the RSS link for that MS forum post:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/feed/t/86f4e7d2-8745-44ab-8d25-71b8f30ce4eb

Create a new Feed item in DevonThink and enter the URL. Works fine for me.

Thanks! I had to ask my son how to use the inspector so now I know how you got that link! :rofl:
