Hello guys, I was wondering if rss feeds will work if I have my forums set private?? Is there a way to make this work? In control panel under rss feed this is only for incoming feeds from other sites right?? I want to send out feeds from all of my forums as a feed. I also would like for one feed to come into one forum only from another site as news. I am still pondering over rss feed as I am new this whole rss feed world. Any information woud be appreciated!
can I have rss feed with forum set to private??

hmm... looks like you have two seperate issues here:
Hello guys, I was wondering if rss feeds will work if I have my forums set private?? I see no reason why you can't aim a feed at a private forum. If its been password protected obviously your users are going to need it to access the feeds.
In control panel under rss feed this is only for incoming feeds from other sites right?? Correct!

Inbound and Outbound RSS are a seperate issue.

Thank you again snardley as you are the one who responded to me last time 
! I really thank you for the help. I have spent much time trying to ponder over and fix my problem on my own before I come and ask for help. I have followed your instructions but I get no rss feed from my forum! When I open the feed in Opera or try to access it in trillian IM, I get no feed! I did turn on rss feed in vb options per your directions and online guide to VB. I read on vb.org that private forum will not produce an rss feed. This was a very old thread that I read about the subject. I don't know what else to do. I want to turn on the rss feed from my site but it looks like it all is not working. If you have any more ideas or sugestions please do tell me.
