I had a bad feeling it was my problem :o

How come the little RSS notifier isn't showing up for this board in Firefox?

Now that doesn't make any sense.....:(

- I'm talking of course about the little red RSS icon in the lower right hand corner.

Everyone should also note that you can append &lastpost=true to the URI for the RSS to get it to display the last post in a thread rather than just the first post when the thread is initially started.

There any other things like that? I'll update the FAQ entry with that stuff.

My analysis shows that "forumids", "type", and "lastpost" are the only valid parameters to pass to the script. Additionally, "JS" and "XML" are valid values of the type parameter (in addition to the RSS and RSS2 already known) which appear to be tied to features you have disabled. However, I can't think of any immediately obvious uses for either option that apply to the context of these forums, so, in effect, nope, nothing else. :)
