RSS feed re-design

Concise description:
  • Redesign the RSS feed so it shows games which expire soon on the top

Specifics/Details:
  • As browsers aren't that smart, they sort the feed by Alphabet, and not by remaining time. If the RSS feed could be altered to start with word Remaining and time after it, browsers would sort it by Remaining time

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
  • When you have 100+ games it is impossible to find ones that need to be played urgently (without logging in)

Here is my RSS feed currently:

I'd really like to see if I have enough time for a beer without logging into CC, and though I can see now, if I had 100+ games it would be impossible.

I didn't know CC had an RSS feed. Going to try it out.

EDIT: I couldn't find the URL anywhere.

There used to be a link somewhere convenient like on your active games screen, IIRC.

Try: http://www.conquerclub.com/rss.php?user_id=XXXXXX

Where XXXXX is your user_id, which can be found by looking at the URL of your profile page next to the u= variable.

I didn't think anyone actually used the RSS feed (which is why the link was removed some time ago). If this is something people are interested in using, I can look into making some improvements to it.

I'm using it for last 3-4 years (since it became available) and it is my first toolbar bookmark... I do have feeds of some friends also, so it helps message them on mobile they're running out of time and if necessary get their pw to play for them...

I say you should sort it by time - descending so the games with less left time are on top.

Example... I got benga in bookmark toolbar... but with his 100+ games it is impossible to see straight from RSS if he is to miss something...

Someone asked about the RSS feed in global chat today. I guess it's still used, though not by many users.

I use it to download and archive the forum.
