This saved me a bunch of time figuring out where to add the image tags.

Does anyone know the if/then statements that would allow us to specify the RSS feed for a specific forum/thread when the member is in that forum/thread?

Also the buttons look very nice on the left side of the forum if you aren't using the languafe or skin chooser boxes

You could almost have a blogging system then, if you had a hidden forum set up!

Almost! - but vB needs these features like these if it's going to maintain it's edge as the best forum software out there!

Here's a weird problem:

I have RSS enabled...

I have confirmed that the rss.gif is in the right image folder...

The change to the footer is showing up when I view the source...

BUT... when I load a forum, the RSS image simply doesn't appear.

In Firefox, while the page is loading, an empty image placeholder appears after the "Top" link and, if you click on it fast enough, that does bring you to the RSS version of the page but, once the page loads, the placeholder disappears and nothing replaces it, nothing is left to click - the page looks just as it did before although, as I've said, the source code shows the change.

In IE, the empty placeholder remains after the page has loaded and, again, you can click on that to go to the RSS version.

Any ideas about why the image isn't appearing? I have downloading the image itself back down from the server and it seems fine.

If you've got Adblock installed on your Firefox it could be the problem - it got rid of my New Thread button because it had "ad" in it!

Interesting. In this case, though, Adblock hasn't been installed in Firefox and IE, obviously, has no such defenses.

I thought it might be some sort of Norton problem but I disabled the firewall and it made no difference.

Is anyone else having the same problem?

Thanks for replying and thanks for providing this.
