    Is it possibly to Use the Magpie RSS Parser in forums? So that teh RSS get listed in to an assigned forum section where these can appear as posts and easy access for use as my forums are popular among a clan that plays Guildwars to keep up with updates etc regarding to game,

    I know this can be done On site And I can concept that, However I can’t see How I can actually use this with fourms to get it to appear as a seperate category assigned for this purpose.

    Can anyone give me guidance or tips in hwo I may be able to accomplish this?

    That would be teh coolest.  Unfortunately, you can’t use Magpie in the forums.  The closest you can get is to run the forum inside a regular template and then run Magpie in the template along with the forum.  I would advise against doing this just to show updates because this method requires extra overhead.  See here for docs.

    Thx John,  Damn If Only santa would serve us (hinting to santa in hope - Hee hee) with something like this ... It so make it so much easier for my Clan/Guild and possibly others to use this in their forums. Oh well back to my Dart board on what I can actually do =/
