This nifty little utility will present a list of all of your forums RSS feeds on one page! Your users can then easily pick & choose which forums they want to subscribe to via RSS, Google, Yahoo, or Bloglines.
Ever go to a big site like CNN and view their page of RSS feeds that you can subscribe to? This is the same thing but for your vBulletin forums!
In addition to your users, the search engine spiders will love this!
We went out of our way to make sure that this CinVin vBulletin add-on was quick & easy to both install and modify!

FAQ's
- What vB versions? This should work with all versions of vB 3.6.x and above. It should also work with vB 3.5.x but I have not tested it on that version.
- Can I remove the "CinVin" text at the very bottom? NO! Believe it or not that little text is what allows us to work on hacks like this for free and, more importantly, to continue to support them. You are free to move the notice to your footer template, for example, if you would like to keep your notices all together but for removing it entirely a Branding Free license is available through CinVin.

What value do you have in the 'user group' option in the ACP for the feed listing? If you remove the value do the feeds show when you are logged in? What is the date of the newest thread in the forum that you are trying to view versus the thread cutoff in your ACP in the external data feeds options??
Hello I have installed this mod and is working fine for me; am really glad to have such a beautiful and important mod. I am getting a little problem and it is that i have integrated another mod for downloading softwares in my forum "DownloadsII 5.0.6 by CyberRanger & Jelle" but the rss feeds are not including this mod.
Is there any way that it also include list of software categories and softwares inside it; that will be really helpful in boosting in SEO.
