    Do the RSS feeds work for the forum? I'm trying to subscribe to them using the Google Reader, and they show up as (title unknown) with no items to read.

    RSS is working for me. Where are you subscribing to them from? Main page? Individual threads?

    I have a subscription for the main page (tutorial9.net), and that works fine. But when I go to http://www.tutorial9.net/forums and then click on RSS2, it opens up my google reader, and adds it as "(title unknown)" and it states "(title unknown) has no unread items"

    And then if i choose to show all, it shows nothing.

    If I try adding http://www.tutorial9.net/forums/ as a feed, Google says there is no available feed. It says the same thing if I try to add a discussion thread (http://tutorial9.net/forums/discussion/70/nike-meteors-ad-concept/#Item_14) or a category (http://tutorial9.net/forums/1/)

    Well, I know that those URL's for sure are not feeds. For example, this topic's feed URL would be: http://tutorial9.net/forums/discussion/74/rss-feeds/?Feed=RSS2

    And the main page is: http://www.tutorial9.net/forums/?Feed=RSS2

    I'm still trying to figure out why you're not getting these feeds to show up correctly. I'll take a look into Google Reader and see if I can see the problem there.

    I think it may not work with Google Reader, because it requires a password to see the feeds. I've never had Google prompt me for a password for a feed, so that's probably why it wont show up there.

    I've tried adding the feed to Thunderbird, and the password prompt says, "Enter username and password for "Private" at http://www.tutorial9.net."

    When I enter my username and password for the forum, it terminates with the following message: "http://www.tutorial9.net/forums/?Feed=RSS2 is not a valid RSS feed."

    I've never used an RSS feed for a private forum before. Can it even be done?

    The forums are still in beta and not open to the public. If the RSS feeds were not password protected everyone would be able to access the forum that way...

    Who would know the address of the RSS besides the beta members anyways?

    Wow. I just got a flood of threads in my Google RSS feed :)

    This makes me very happy! =D

    That's because we're now opening doors to the public ;)

    But don't tell anyone! I'll announce it soon on the front page.
