Good morning all

First of all, i have no idea if this is even possible, but you gotta ask huh!!

Is it possible to take an RSS feed from an external source and then automatically create new threads (or posts) based on this?

I have tried searching for a solution, but i dont even know what to search for

Many thanks in advance

Yep, just go to the RSS Feeds section of your AdminCP and click Add New RSS Feed. Put in the address of the feed, what forum you want the threads to be posted in and the username to which they should be credited.

HTML will not parse inside posts by the RSS bot. You can try converting them to BB code first (tick the box inside the feed option).
