Ok the feeds are working, but the image path for some reason is wrong. How can I change that? It is like this: forum/forum/images/misc/rss_gif I only have one forum folder.

Fixed. I went in and just removed the word forum from the path in the options.

THANKS!!

[donwon]

My forums slow waaaaaay down when this is active. Is there something I can do? I am on a dedicated server as it is.

Thanks.

Never had any report of slow performance and I cannot see any reason this would impact. I expect the issue is something else. Remove the PlugIn and make sure the system performs properly then PM me access and I'll re-install it and configure it for you.

New option coming... It was on my wish-list and will be in the next update in a few minutes!

[Sorky]

1. Added option to open the RSS Feed in a new window (this will be the default)
2. Added option for the link to be on the far left (useful for right-to-left sites)
3. Added a debug section and option
4. Minor commenting and formatting adjustments

Hi, how can i hide my private forum, for example if i have any forums for moderators and admins, and if i change forum ids on line forumids=119,120,121,122 then i can get headers from private forums

I assume that if my plugin is NOT installed, and you do the URL thing, then you get the feed...

That's the way vBulletin works, but I added an option to help stop that happening. Enter the forums for which you do NOT want to get RSS Feeds, choose "Unselected" (all but those get feeds) and then use the "Block excluded forums (Stop URL access)" options.

If that doesn't work, PM me a url so I can take a look.
