cannot see is showing as a blank page!!!

Yep on both accounts.

Inside of "external.php" (the actual stock vBulletin script that products the RSS feeds) it is looking for "forumids" so if you use "forumid" instead it'll just ignore it and behave as if you didn't specify any options at all. If the guest does not have permissions to view anything then it will produce a blank page. That is why "forumids=90" produces a blank page (because it's the right variable but no permission to view a a guest) while "forumid=90" produces output (because it's the wrong variable so it's being ignored and it instead shows any & all forums that a guest does have access to).
