PHP Code:

<a href="external.php?forumids=$forum[forumid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/rss_small.gif" style="float: right" border="0" width="14" height="14" hspace="2" alt="Subscribe to this feed $forum[title]"></a> 


however i need an answer: if a forum is private and someone take the feed from it, what happens? he can see the posts?

How do I move the RSS icon in the subforum to be closer to the subforum name?

Currently it is on the far right hand side of the page:

check this post : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....6&postcount=44

This doesn't seem to change the image? I've also tried just changing rss.jpg to a different image and that doesn't work either?

All you need to do to change that image is upload the pic you want to use as rss.jpg in the misc image folder, rather than editing anything.

My sub-forum rss icons are still in really random positions (some of them are in the right place, but most of them arent!), any ideas how to resolve? I used the code that was mentioned earlier in the thread.

Mine are odd too. I'm not really sure why it's like that, I've been meaning to figure it out soon. I'll post up if I figure it out, unless someone does before me.

You must make the forum permissions public. Dunno why, but if you set it to where only members can view the forum, they cant view the rss.
