I have already checked that the RSS Syndication is set to yes, is there anything else I can check?

Hello Pete

It depends on the "Thread Cutoff" = This value controls how many days in the past that updated threads will be chosen from. Busy forums will want a smaller number. The smallest valid value is 1 day; the default is 30 days.

Just change the 30 days to a bigger number and you will see the post in RSS.

Hope this helps,
Peter.

Go to your Admin CP vBulletin Options -> External Data Provider -> Enable RSS Syndication Check YES , you enable it and click SAVE

Done!!!!!! It worked. Please put this info in the mod directions - it will save people hours.

Is there any possiblity to include subforums of a forum to the rss feed?

Answer:

Instead of:
<a href="external.php?forumids=$forum[forumid]">

use this:
<a href="external.php?forumids=$forum[childlist]">

(@hoseman888, You really should get out more often!)

I have installed this in threadbit

<a href="external.php?showthread=$thread[threadid]"><img src="images/misc/rss_small.gif" border="0" width="13" height="11" hspace="2" alt="Subscribe to this feed $forum[title]"></a>

It gives the impression that I can subscribe to the THREAD. Instead, when loading the link in a Reader, it is subscribing to the entire FORUM NOT the Thread.

What about Threads in Forum ?

[GSeybold]

works great. easy install Only problem I have is that if I have a forum set to members only viewing, even when the member is logged in, a blank page is viewed for these particular forum. Only the forums open to public viewing are have live RSS feeds.
