It would be nice to have new posts available through rss feeds. That way I don't have to refresh my browser windows all the time, but get all new posts in my rss-reader.

Let me know how to do this and I will see what I can do.Ha, I was hoping you would know :-) No kidding, I don't know the actual techniques behind it. Basically your database will fire a trigger when a post is updated, that trigger is used to create a xml page, which in turn can be picked up by rss feed reader programs. A sample is http://www.cichlid-forum.com/phpBB/rss.php and some descriptions about it are at http://www.2rss.com/software.php?page=rss20docs If and how it can be done greatly depends on forum software and database software. It would be nice if it could be done, but it's an extra, so if it's ging to be too much of a hassle, forget about it.
