Click on it and then read and fill out the selection. Once your done click submit, and you will get a link with the options you specified. copy and paste the link into your browser and hit go. Smile

RSS (file format), Really Simple Syndication, Rich Site Summary or RDF Site Summary, several similar forms of web syndication used by news websites and weblogs
Others can use your RSS feed to get updates from your forum.

Also see the more general page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_syndication
For steps on how to properly use the RSS script, see the wiki: [Wiki: RSS_Syndication] (Broken link, head over to docs.mybb.com instead)

(just thought I'd add the wiki into the mix)

What must I do to highlight the link so that is clickable?
Highlight the link and press ctrl + c then go into your browsers url (open up a new window) and press ctrl + v and press the "go" button.

Cheers.
No, I mean what must I do that the link gets parsed out as a clickable link with href tag?
You can change it in the template misc_syndication_feedurl
