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!
Automatically adds an RSS button to your footer template.

Ability to specify which usergroup to use for permissions when viewing the list of forums.

All templates and phrase are installed as a vBulletin product through your ACP which means there are no file edits!
Debug mode to help you with any problems you may be having.
Installation only take a few moments...
Unzip the .zip file that you downloaded.

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.

Hey Kevin.. Nice hack.. Installed.. Works fine.. But I've a request.. Its also showing 'Private Forum'.. Can u please add an option thus I can exclude 'Private Forum'? Here is my link.. http://www.golpo.net/forum/cv_rss_feeds.php
Great, great hack! Installed but am going to have to remove it too because of guests being able to view private forums. It would be wonderful if we had the option to select which forums we wish to provide an rss feed for.
I have turned off anything to do with referrer and i no longer get the database errors when i click the main forum RSS Image.
I still get a blank page when i click any other RSS image on the page though
hmmmm, maybe I spoke too soon......not working very well with firefox.....some feeds are fine, others are blank pages, and still others have one feed or two.......any suggestions?
Good point, just checked and the blank pages are in Firefox, and in IE 50% o
