Node Name Tag Name Description URL of the dnforum The thread id of the dnforum.You need use :http://www.dnforum.com/showthread.php?id=123456 to display the thread details This thread title The poster name of this thread The post date of this thread
Basically, depending on how you want to display the info, is how you will use it.
You could have a javascript call the feed which is simple to do and most of your visitors would be able to read the feed in their browser. However, this won't score your site too many points as far as the search engines go as they still don't load javascript. Another alternative is pulling it in an iframe. You could even insert it with ssi or by including a simple php file. Which method you choose is up to what you want to get out of it.
RSS is going to revolutionize information delivery so now would be a good time to learn how to impliment it on your site.
For some reason, the RSS feeds seem to freeze my Mozilla for 20 seconds. I don't see the same problem with IE though.
Its annoying as everytime i start the browser and visit the DNForum main page, it just freezes for 20 seconds, and then everything is back to normal. It only happens with DNForum.

I am using Mozilla - Firefox (0.9.2) and the dnf main doesnt freezes for me... Maybe update your browser version :undecided
Adam, I just went to syndicate dnforum at one site of mine, saw the output your feed creates, and I highly suggest installing the rss modification hack found here:
The code modifications make a simple change to external.php to explode a list of child forums in addition to some quick template changes to provide a common button for users to click to see the RSS feed.
1) at the Forum Home level, the xml link when clicked, produces an RSS feed for all threads in all forums. No changes made to external.php for this to work.
2) at the Sub-Forum level, the xml link when clicked, produces an RSS feed for all threads in the listed sub-forums. external.php is changed to explode the list of child forums.
3) at the Forum level, the xml link when clicked, produces an RSS feed only to threads in the that forum. No changes made to external.php for this to work.
Please take this advice and allow syndication of particular forums at the child level. The way it is now, I have to syndicate all posts and cant specify what forum I want.
Great, it works a lot better than the default output.
Here is a sample of what is output to my website the way it is:

And so on and so forth...
Notice there is no real content, just the title of the post. No meat to go with it, IE the first few lines of text in the post.
That mod will also change the description from say for example
"Forum: Sports DiscussionsPosted By: DotComGodPost Time: 07-20-2004 at 12:55 PM"
to
"The first few lines of the post here"
Thanks again, and I hope you agree this is a great hack.
