    Ok, I know there is a .js for importing RSS feeds into the message boards, But I've been asked if there is a way to get an RSS feed FROM the message boards on my BBS.

    Yes. See web/root/rss.ssjs.

    the message boards on my BBS.

    Yes. See web/root/rss.ssjs.

    Is there an entry in the wiki that explains how to set it up, and explains to the users how to subscribe to my rss feed?

    I've tried subing to RSS feeds years ago, but was never able to get them working.

    Yes. See web/root/rss.ssjs.

    http://wiki.synchro.net/config:rss.ini

    and explains
    to the users how to subscribe to my rss feed?

    If they just go to your /rss.ssjs URL using a web browser (you provide them a link), it's pretty obvious.

    I've tried subing to RSS feeds years ago, but was never able to get them working.

    Try again and if you have troubles, let us know.

    Ok, I've created the rss.ini in the ctrl folder, recycled the webserver, but when I try to go to the website to test it I keep getting 404 errors:

    Log File:

    Browser display:
    "No resource at this location."

    URL:

    I even tried putting the rss.ssjs file in the webv4/root folder as well with the same results.

    Yes, if you're using webv4, you would need to copy symlink the rss.ssjs file to its "root" directory.

    That was an attempt from YOUR site. I tried in both the web based, as well as adding it to Thunderbird. Neither of them would agrigate your feed.

    I understand, but you're using YOUR RSS reader of choice.

    I tried in both the web based, as well
    as adding it to Thunderbird. Neither of them would agrigate your feed.

    I haven't looked at rss.ssjs in years.

    It *used* to work: http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/web/root/rss.ssjs?view=log

    If the standards have evolved, I'm sure it wouldn't take much work for someone that cared to adjust the script accordingly.
