Generate and customize the code for the feed(s) you want using RSS Digest (http://www.bigbold.com/rssdigest/) .

Open your forumhome template. Find:
$navbar
and
<!-- main -->

and insert in between:

<!-- newsfeeds -->
<table cellpadding="{tableouterborderwidth}" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder" {tableouterextra} width="100%" align="center"><tr><td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0" {tableinnerextra} width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>"Title for your NewsFeed"</b></smallfont></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1"><normalfont><center><b>"insert generated code here"</center></b></normalfont></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr></table>
<!-- /newsfeeds -->

Change the title for your feed and insert the code you generated at RSS Digest where indicated. You can easily insert a feed to virtually any template this way and customize it to fit your forums. In the attached screenshot, the feed is directly below "Latest news from Hockey's Future".

Is this the Java Feed code or the PHP feed code generated from Feed digest? (RSS digest has renamed)
The PHP include doesn't work for me and the java code causes the page load to take about 20secs...

Ok, I'm using Java, the PHP code only works in a .php file such as index.php as an include.

I would recommend NOT placing this up by the navbar as it stops the page from loading if the feeddigest site takes a while to send the java, which it often does.

This table belongs at the bottom after the what's going on box so that the forums load first.
