This is built into 3.6 as a default feature. The options are near the bottom in the ACP.

wow that is way cool... it is so easy to use. how can you get the entire message to download instead of just 1 or 2 lines ?

It will only download what is included in the feed. Most feeds have the first x characters, which could be anything from 50 upwards. I've not seen any with less than 50 characters, but it would be possible.

Ok I was not aware of that limit with the feeds. I guess i am still learning about all these great features. so what does articlebot do for $19.00 that the stock vb feed does not

Theres only so much that you can do with an RSS feed and posting it on the forums, so while I haven't seen the latest version of Articlebot, I can't imagine that it can be that different really.

Also, using stock vB functions where possible makes it a lot easier for upgrading and support if a fault happens.
