edit: whoops, spoke too soon. I just tried to reload it and got a blank page. Check your error_logs.

2. If you have permission, you can probably use their style sheet.

3. Weird that the author doesn't show up. Check that you copied the code correctly.

Will do, i just did the html in editplus, and havent added compliance stuff etc.

I could contact the originator, and see what is the go. Not sure on the author part, was wondering if it was a vbseo issue. Does vbseo rewrite the forum id's within rss. Seems to if we use the explicit:

external.php?type=RSS2

when viewing the feed links they have been re-written.

So perhaps when supplying the feed via ext webpage, the rewrite is trying to rewrite what is already rewritten !! lol

So perhaps I should be parsing the feed as:

external.php?type=RSS2&f=barbie

instead of

external.php?type=RSS2&f=3

When I give the rewrite code as in =barbie ( name of a forum ) it seems to load immediately, with little or no lag or blank pages.

I am thinking perhaps this could be a contributing factor.

Just an aside, :

1. when using external.php?type=RSS2&f=barbie if we click on a link in the feed, we dont get the pingback function.

if we use external.php?type=RSS2&f=3 we do ???

Also where do i add, target="_blank" to the links.
