[Solved] feed from blog turned into discussions

edited December 2013 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

I'm running Vanilla 2.0.19 and am trying to recover from losing all my website data.

Before my unfortunate crash I had a plugin on my Vanilla forum that automatically took a post from my blog RSS feed and started a discussion on Vanilla. Does anyone know what plugin that was (or how I might have done it)? I can't for the life of me find it in the addons or in any discussion in this forum.

Thanks
Perry, 44

    The plugin could have been Magpie Feeds or Feed Discussions.

    Add Pages to Vanilla with the Basic Pages app

    Yeah, I thought Feed Discussions but that is no longer in the Addons. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Magpie but I'll try that one.

    Thanks

    thats why he gave you a link.

    unfortunately most people don't realize they are links when they are pretty and anchored to some words, The discussion is pretty, but the link is often overlooked.

    Ah yes, I did not notice that the word FeedDiscussions was a link. But I found a copy of the plugin on my computer so all is good. That was what I was using. Magpie doesn't seem to work on my system.

    I do seem to be getting the following error using FeedDiscussions. Any idea what might be going on?

    "Failed to connect to 2404:6800:4003:c00::76: Network is unreachable"

    @Lincoln & @Kasper: Can we have the texts links in the forum a more recognizable color? I'm running a recent iMac screen here and it's not so easy to fetch them out of the plain text. Think of worser screens and color blind or partly color blind people. Thanx.

    can you be color blind for blue - I thought it was red-green - but it would be nice to have a decoration on anchor links within discussions as well as in signatures.
