I'm on vB 3.0.1 - do I need to upgrade to 3.0.3 for this to work?

btw, I have live bookmark feeds working on other sites (eg BBC News).

Any ideas??

In the headinclude template put the following, obviously modifying the URL for your forum, and the name of the forum too:

<link href="http://www.bowlie.com/forum/external.php?type=rss2" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Bowlie - Latest Posts">
<if condition="$foruminfo[forumid] != ''">
<link href="http://www.bowlie.com/forum/external.php?type=rss2&amp;forumids=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Bowlie - Latest Posts in $foruminfo[title]">
</if>

You need full URLs, not relative.

RSS2 is prefered.

I have made it so that two feeds are available, a global one... and a per-forum one. Global feed of all latest posts is on every page, and the forum specific feed is on any page that can provide forum info (such as forumdiaply.php or showthread.php ).

That should work, does on mine
