In your second to last line:

href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/yourforumurlcom-$foruminfo[forumid]" />

That won't work, right? If you've done what I described above (aggregating with forumids=3,4,5,6, and creating a feedburner feed of that)...your modification will break when it generates the link above....as the feedburner link will be http://feeds.feedburner.com/yourforumurlcom-3456 if you left the default.

For example, you're viewing forumid=5, your code above generates a link to http://feeds.feedburner.com/yourforumurlcom-5 for which there is no separate feedburner feed....

ack I'm so confused.

Well you didn't do it exactly the way I did. I use the parent forum-id, which allows the header code to work, but when I create the feed in Feedburner, THERE I insert the list of feeds that I want to show for that parent forum-id. This doesn't actually work with the normal external.php approach, which is why I started looking for an alternative in the first place. For example, I have a News Archive parent forum, and within it there are five different category news forums. What I wanted, was that if someone subscribed to the News Archive, that they'd get all the news. With external.php, it doesn't work that way.... unless you create the forum as a category... which I don't do because of a little problem with formatting. In any event, this will work if you use the parent forum's forumID, and then make sure to associate it properly with the name of the feed in Feedburner.
