Would it be possible for vb.org to enable the RSS feeds? It would be useful to keep track of recently released hacks in the hack forum and so on.

It provides a feed of information in a format such as this:

http://www.webdesignforums.net/rss.xml

With the right manipulation you can use it to output the information in any format you wish :)

But how do you set it up to do that?

it's a vboption.

External output or so.

you can enable xml, rss and js output.

I know that part but how would you hook into here for the RSS feed?

I use the RRS Reader Extension for Mozilla Firebird so I can check the latest topics straight from my browser.

Also one last suggestion, would it be possible to add an rss layout for the latest hacks released? Similar to Latest Hacks on the main page but in an RSS compatible layout. I tried using the forumis 33 and it doesn't show any topics and when I specified the seperate hack forums, only the latest posts show up, not hacks.

I use feedreader (feedreader.com), it's open source. It just sits on the system tray and tells you whenever the rss is updated with a little pop-up message msn messenger-like. By default it checks for updates each 15 minutes.

How would we set it up if we don't have that and want it in a certain forum on our forums?
