A few months ago I visited a website with a Vbulletin Forum on it (tbh I can't remember what website). In the forum they had a "News" section. It looked like this news forum was automatically filled with news from another website. Every single news item was posted as a seperate thread in that forum (time of posting was virtually all the same).

Does anybody know how thats done?

There is a feature that will get RSS feeds from somewhere else and post them as threads.

I've never used it myself, so I'm not exactly sure how to run it. But here is the link (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/rssposter) to it in the vBulletin User Manual

r007 Thanks for your help because that answered my question. Always considered RSS Feed Manager in Vbulletin as a outgoing RSS Feeder instead of incoming....
