Hi Keith,

Many thanks for your reply, that had exactly the effect I was looking for of getting me access to my clips...the best bit of which is it worked for both http://m.newsgator.com and the Windows Mobile client, so I'm a very happy person :D

I agree it's a bit like an allegator eating it's own tail feeding NewsGator it's own RSS feeds, but it works and that's great!

Alan.

You can actually do this now. Just click on the Clippings folder you wish to subscribe to. The articles are displayed to the right. Scroll to the bottom and you will see the feed for that folder.

I find it best to not allow new subscriptions to be automatically added to the iPhone. I like to hand pick the ones that are sent to control the amount of information that is sent. If you have your iPhone configured this way you will need to add your newly created clippings folder to the allowed list. Here's how to restrict feeds from being sent to your iPhone and how to allow them:

1. Log in to NewsGator Online
2. Click on Settings | Edit Locations
3. The second location down is your NewsGator Mobile Edition location
4. Click on Feeds (The configure link does nothing useful, we will be removing that soon)
5. Hit the Uncheck All link then check the feeds you would like to allow
6. Hit the update button at the bottom of the page to save your changes.

Admittedly this is a work around, and we will be making the clippings functionality more user friendly. But I think you will find that after you have set it up this way it will work quite nicely.

Question/Feature Request access to clipped items on Mobile?

Hi,

Been using News Gator via Web, FeedDemon and Go! (on WM5) for a couple of weeks now and it has really helped cut down on wading through the duplicate posts between home, work and mobile! Also had a go with your Windows Media Centre plugin which worked quite well although not officially supported anymore?

Anyway my question was I know I can add clips now to multiple folders (after adding them online, then sync the device and then 'Refresh Folders' option while adding a new clip on the device) but is there anyway to read clipped items on the device itself?

As I monitor a lot of feeds I tend want to scan through and clip those of interest, but sometimes I'll be away from a PC so actually have more time to read articles on the mobile than while at a desk, so would really like this feature.

Hopefully you can tell me that either I've missed an interface option, or it's a planned feature?

Many thanks in advance,
