Show of hands?  Who would really use such an item rather than just using the abbreviated RSS then coming to the site?

Where can I find the RSS feed?

The administrator may have enabled RSS syndication, this allows you to view newly created threads in guest viewable forums without visiting the board.

The feeds are currently provided in two formats, RSS and RSS v2. The differences are as follows:

    * RSS 0.91 - This feed is based on a standard written by netscape and provides a link and the title of the thread.
      http://eab.abime.net/external.php?type=rss
    * RSS 2.0 - This feed contains title, author, date and the contents of the first post of the thread.
      http://eab.abime.net/external.php?type=rss2

To add this to MyYahoo click here.

The forums to which this applies can also be limited to specific guest viewable forums by adding another paramater to the URL containing the forumids as follows:
http://eab.abime.net/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=123

If you would like the content to be generated for multiple forums you can seperate the forumids by commas.
" - http://eab.abime.net/faq.php?s=&do=search&q=rss&match=all&titlesonly=0

it should work put it only show the news :(

@Tom,

I know HOW to do it, what I'm wondering is how much people would actually use it.  Don't jump on the "me too" bandwagon, before going to the effort of actually rewriting the server's code, and potentially increasing the server load, I want to know how many people (if anyone) would even notice such a feature?

Why would you want such a feature, as opposed to simply coming to Amiga.org and reading the latest posts list?  I guess I just don't get the benefit.
