I've remember some of the post in which the member ask about RSS feed....
While i was reading the FAQ, the RSS feed Q&A sparks my interest :
Where can I find the RSS feed?

The administrator may have enabled RSS syndication, this allows you to view newly created threads in guest viewable forums without visiting the board.

The feeds are currently provided in two formats, RSS and RSS v2. The differences are as follows:

* RSS 0.91 - This feed is based on a standard written by netscape and provides a link and the title of the thread.
http://forum.pcstats.com/external.php?type=rss
* RSS 2.0 - This feed contains title, author, date and the contents of the first post of the thread.
http://forum.pcstats.com/external.php?type=rss2

To add this to MyYahoo click here.

The forums to which this applies can also be limited to specific guest viewable forums by adding another paramater to the URL containing the forumids as follows:
http://forum.pcstats.com/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=123

If you would like the content to be generated for multiple forums you can seperate the forumids by commas.

Now, the question is whether the adminstrator enable the RSS feeds, because, i cant activate live bookmark for firefox and stuff........
So, forum moderators, anything can be done to activate the RSS? :D

When it was first announced that the newsletter could be delivered through RSS I immediatly added the feed to Thunderbird with the rest of my news-like RSS. Sure enough I received that edition of the newsletter by I have yet to receive another edition.

I didn't even know that they had implemented (or tried) RSS to the forums.

The vBulletin have this capability, but for sure it havent been activated...........
This feature, when activated is sure to be an added bonus for the user..........
Any security concern when activating RSS?
