gREAT HACK!!
but strange (minor) problem:

I have it set to create thread (talk about)....
but when it does it posts the link and some remnant code...
ie output to created reads like this:
--------------

Gears of War and Unreal Tournament 2007 - Ve3d.com[URL=

--------------
the link works fine. but what's the "[url="?
any ideas how to get rid of it...or what's it SUPPOSED to look like?

PS. how do you change the ORDER in whick the RSS feeds and About Today are listed?? :/
I added a new RSS...but it appears in the middle of the list and I want it at the end. Is there a way to do this?

The RSS Feeds "Name" determines the sort order. If you look at the image below, the sort order of the feed is determined by 1. What will display as the feed "Title" is 2. If you leave the "Title" blank, then the "Name" is also used as the display title.

When the feed is created into a thread, any html img tags are converted into bbcode IMG tags. I find that the feed image tags tend to contain dynamic url's. Unless you have set vbulletin to allow dynamic img tags (admincp -> vbulletin options -> Message Posting and Editing Options -> Allow Dynamic URL for IMG Tags), vbulletin will convert the dymanic bbcode IMG tags to bbcode URL tags. But ... that conversion seems to not always work. If it's not an img, then the conversion from an html a tag to a bbcode url has not worked right.

Can you give me the url to the RSS Feed? That will let me better examine what is happening in your situation.

I don't get any RSS feeds. :(

I even deleted out the defaults and added the
http://feeds.feedburner.com/NoteFromTheBook
feed that was in this thread. I run the cron job, and force the rss feed update, and nothing. No errors or anything. :(

Does anyone know how I might go about troublehooting the ^^ issue? :nervous:

My guess is that your server doesn't allow fopen. If you check your phpinfo, is allow_url_fopen set to yes?

Good call; it is set to "no". I am on the phone with my support dept. people while they scratch their heads and try to figure out what I am talking about. lol

Well, I am officially educated. It was just a simple change in the php.ini file to turn it on. Thanks; this has to be one of the greatest mods I have used.

Awesome! Glad you were able to get the ini change done.

You guys seems to be way ahead of me, but im trying to install it on 3.5.4 and no luck so far. I dont know what im doing wrong, i think this is the first time ive installed a mod. Could up provide some guidance please..anyone??

Edit: I found that my feeds updated one time then stopped. In light of this, I'm removing my code modifications until I can get the cURL subs working again.
