I really want more description in the posts, I have had a look in the cp where it has the template area where you can adjust what and where things are posted, Can I edit something there ?

Thanks

This is a problem in my view. But it is all up to the organization posting the RSS feed, they determine who much to syndicate. They want their clicks too and therefore want you to read the entire story there. Some stories will just have a line or two others will give you an entire paragraph.

I've had no luck finding "full feed" news that was worth anything.

One of my staff said that it is a big security risk to allow HTML it leaves the forum open to hackers. That is why vBulletin highly recommends not using it.?

What do you think about that?

Re: News feed


That is very true. Keeping HTML open can only cause problems.

I was thinking I had mine set up to allow my "Umpire-Empire Reporter" who creates these posts to have HTML but after looking at it I was incorrect.

I would opt to get news from those who don't send the rss with HTML.

I hope I'm not being confusing.

Re: News feed


No I understand
but it would only become a problem if someone was able to hack in that members account? is this right?

Did you have it set up like this with that member ("Umpire-Empire Reporter") did you have any problems?

I have added a few feeds to test what will be posted, There are so many posts they just keep coming and coming (which is good) but I will now have a full time job modding the posts. lol

I think I will have to find 1 good feed that just posts relevant material so I dont have to mod them.
