We can access the RSS by inserting external.php? in the URL.

For eb. the Third Gen TL forum can be accessed from the URL:
https://acurazine.com/forums/external.php?forumids=1
and for Third and second gen it is
https://acurazine.com/forums/exte...hp?forumids=1,2

To access the whole of TL forum it is simply
https://acurazine.com/forums/external.php

Hope it helps somebody.

Alright I am sure this has been posted but Search wont let you search 3 Letters, and the only Thread I found I had to search with "FEEDS" and the Thread was closed

but anyways, I figured out how to use RSS FEEDS FOR People with Vista or IE7 and want to Display it on there Desktop Sidebar. IE7 wouldnt let me read the feeds and gave me a DOESNT SUPPORT DTD'S error, so I read around and heres the fix:

use external.php?type=RSS2 instead of external.php or external.php?type=rss

So Instead of Just

https://acurazine.com/forums/external.php

Make it

https://acurazine.com/forums/external.php?type=RSS2

Than Click Subscribe to this Feed and Make a New Folder for you Feeds and set it up on your Sidebar!

This is a Really cool Feature to use on your Vista Desktop for RSS Feeds
