How do we stop certain usergroups such as unregistered from accessing RSS?

Wherever you want really... The "image to use" option can contain a path and filename (eg: images/misc/rss_small.gif)

Not currently possible. RSS feed clients do not login. This Mod at least makes it easy to stop the RSS feeds on specific forums (but unfortunately it stops everyone :erm

Hard to guess - Easy to test...
Copy the URL for the RSS feed
Turn my Mod OFF
Open a fresh browser and paste in the URL
If the problem still exists, it isn't my Mod
Possibly forum security related
Or possibly the "External Data" settings

What exactly do you expect it to do?

If you are thinking about only particular groups getting to see the "Link" then I might be able to achieve that (note that anyone could still type in the URL to access the "external.php").

If you are thinking about only particular groups getting access, I don't believe the RSS feeds in vBulletin allow for that. I could add a keyword in the URL for specific forums so that only those who get the link will get the keyword and thus add a very basic form of security. Once the keyword is known though, nothing much could be done.
