Hello,
im using mybb for a long time, and all i can say is it's "nearly" PERFECT! Smile
however, some extra options would be great

i sometimes "copy/paste" from news sites (i dont violate their rules) for my forum's "news" section.

instead of doing it, a rss post importer will be a better solution..
a friend said ipb has this option but i dont use ipb.

so, what do you think about it? is it possible?

cheers
I also need this mod. vBulletin has already this feature included in their 3.6.0

K thanks but it asks for the forum id to be input ..what is that?
I think it's the forum ID you want the RSS Articles to be posted in. It's been a while since I last used it.

I know but what is the forum ID mean, is it the name of the forum ? or is it some number that I am supposed to know?
It's the ID in the URL for a forum, for example, the URL for this forum is:
http://community.mybboard.net/forumdisplay.php?fid=7

So it's FID is 7.
Sorry I forgot to renew my domain name Toungue Yes the forum ID is the number that you see at the end of the URL when you are viewing the forum.
