Does vbulletin not have an RSS system built in to enable users to get feeds from certain forums or posts?

I have enabled the syndication system, but i thought it would make little RSS links show up ni the place so users could subscribe to feeds......

how do i do this?

Once you've enabled it, put /external.php?type=rss on the end of your URL to see the feed. or interchange that with =rss2 =xml etc to get the different types. The icons arent automatically added, you'll have to create links to the feeds yourself.

well its kind of stupid that the icons arent added automatically.... but not a problem .... i like the fact that i can at least put them where i want.

Is there a way to grab feeds from specific forums only? instead of all forums?

Also is there a way i can customize how the feed looks in the reader?????
Right now it has the title at the top with the vbulletin logo below it... id like to add my own logo instead and maybe some other info if possible.

also what is this code in headinclude for if not for the buttons?

Code:

<if condition="$vboptions['externalrss']">
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="$vboptions[bbtitle] RSS Feed" href="external.php?type=RSS2" />
<if condition="$show['foruminfo'] OR $show['threadinfo']">
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="$vboptions[bbtitle] - $foruminfo[title_clean] - RSS Feed" href="external.php?type=RSS2&amp;forumids=$foruminfo[forumid]" />
</if>

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
