Gecko,
You done a wonderful job, its working great with that url! :D, well done!
You just need to post news items as new messages when you have a new release. I suppose tomorrow you can try add the rss icon to the front page and the extra bit of code for the browser auto detect if you like!
Looks good!
John.

Yes, let's pick-up on the rest of this tomorrow if that's OK. I would like to complete the remaining tasks as you suggested.
Thanks again & until tomorrow. :D

I got it to work by copying an existing rss feed that I have in my bookmarks and then changing the feed URL to the new one., now I have a list of the last 7 releases.

OK, just a quick question Gecko. Can you edit php files? Are you confident enough to edit them? I can give you instructions for where to put the link into your forum <head> tags.
If you are confident enough to edit the php files yourself, you can follow the instructions i give you here. If you are not confident with editing the php files, i can do it for you and email the updated php files to you!
Instructions to install the "Browser auto-detect rss feed" code if you are fimilar with php;
1. Find out what "Theme" you are using for this forum, i'm not sure, i'm not fililar with SMF.
2. When you know the "Theme", go to the directory;
YOUR-FORUM-FILES/Themes/YOUR-THEME/index.template.php
SMF comes with 3 themes, classic, babylon and default, so the directory might be;
YOUR-FORUM-FILES/Themes/default/index.template.php
3. Edit the index.template.php file and find a line of code that is similar to this;
--- Quote ---<title>', $context['page_title'], '</title>
--- End quote ---
That line is about line 79 of the index.template.php . Just after that, add the following code;
--- Quote ---<link href="http://lunatics.kwsn.net/index.php?action=.xml;type=rss2;sa=news;limit=15;board=15" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" />

See how you get on with that much! ;)
John.

Here are 3 nice rss icons you can use. Copy them to your images folder on this website;
16x16 -
24x24 -
32x32 -
