Firefox 3	i saw some ppl ask for rss, it isn't a feature but if you have the time you can put this code in your board just by hosting the xml file and updating it sometimes... should work in all browsers with rss (ex. IE7 and Firefox) XML code: Spoiler: click to toggle <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <rss version="2.0"> <channel> <generator>Feed Editor</generator> <pubDate>7 Aug 2008 03:47:09 GMT</pubDate> <title> Title of your Rss feed </title> <description>description of feed</description> <link>link to your board</link> <language>en</language> <item> <title>Off topic</title> <description>random things</description> <pubDate>7 Aug 2008 03:47:09 GMT</pubDate> <link>link to this rss item</link> </item> (you add more of theses to add more links on the rss) </channel> </rss> highlighted word reference from above xml code: Spoiler: click to toggle save this as an .XML !!!1 file in notepad or whatever host the file wherever, it may be easier to host on ftp server so you can edit easier ok, now for the rss code there are 3 different codes for your board: code one: Spoiler: click to toggle just a link to your rss: <a href="xml link">RSS feed</a> code two: Spoiler: click to toggle this code lets the rss be discovered by the browser: <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href=" xml link"> code 3: Spoiler: click to toggle puts an image link <a href=" xml link "><img src=" rss pic link " border="0"></a> oh b4 i forget... for code 2 put in in board themes in the javascript (its not java but theis code needs to be in the <head> section ima going to use code 2 and 3 on my board... you could put code one on your menu or anything you want to use it for... another thing i just found is that you can add an image to and item if you want by using this code: replace the item <disription> tag under an item with <content><![CDATA[<img src="image link" />description]]></content> Edited by lego12, Aug 7 2008, 10:25 PM.

You need a server space so you can upload the XML file, though. Of course, there is the problem that this doesn't update itself automatically. So the only this'll work is if you go in there and manually edit the XML for every post/topic that is posted. Which would be a pain in the ass.
