That doesn't work? Works for me

SirPoonga:
hmmm, weird.  firefox won't display the xml.  But rss bandit works fine.   Must have made a typo the first time I put it in bandit.

Anyway, cool.  Setup to grab the last 100 posts every 60 minutes :)  And setup so firefox opens the link to the thread if I click on it.  IE is my default browser at work because part of our software requires it :(

MustardTent:
Using RSS bandit 1.3.0.29, I'm able to get these feeds (like SirPoonga), but it looks like the feed doesn't always provide the author's name, and even when it does, the "author" is listed by email address, not by their screen name (this is in the columns by which rss bandit sorts the feed data).   

Additionally, each comment either starts with the body, or with:

"Quote from: <username> on <date>", then the body.

Either way, I'm really enjoying the RRS feeds of the forums; I just wanted to point these issues out.

sirwoogie:
The author field will be set to the nick in the next SMF release that we will be going to soon. As for the body, it's all a matter of how the message text is set. The "Quote from" is actually in the message body, so that's why it shows up in the feed.

Default is the last 10 posts:

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=.xml

The number and board is configurable such as

* subrequest: sa=recent
* board: board number. You can get this by hovering over the links to the boards and include the number after the ','
* limit: How many recent posts. The max is 255
So, for the last 25 posts in the Main Forum, it would be:

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=.xml;sa=recent;board=1;limit=25

The type of feed can be changed as well by adding the following parameters:
RSS
--- Code: ---type=rss
--- End code ---
RSS2
--- Code: ---type=rss2
--- End code ---
[/list]

We currently don't have atom or rdf feeds. Enjoy!

--- End quote ---

What are the different options for "subrequest: sa=".  Also, what is the behavior of the value "recent" for this parameter?
