What is all this about?
Well, if you're like me, and your email inbox is already clogged up with enough stuff already, you don't need even more email notifications and such clogging it up when someone posts to the forum. So, instead, you can use your favorite RSS-supporting newsreader (I personally prefer Bloglines[=http://bloglines.com]Bloglines and Mozilla Thunderbird[=http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/]Mozilla Thunderbird, but there are many others to choose from) to keep on top of forum posts.

Sounds great... what's the catch?
Just be respectful of my bandwidth. Don't pull a feed more than hourly please... truthfully, checking the feed maybe twice a day is more than enough.

But I like email notices!
Hey, no problem. If you want to get an email sent to you whenever something updates on the forum, you can use RMail[=http://www.kbcafe.com/rss/rss2smtp.aspx]RMail to subscribe to one of the RSS feeds above and have it delivered to your inbox. Just copy one of the links above, go to the RMail site[=http://www.kbcafe.com/rss/rss2smtp.aspx]RMail site and paste it into the RSS field, along with your email address in the other. Or if you just want to know when someone replies to a posting you've made, just check the "Notify me when a reply is posted" check box on the forum.

When I try and connect to the fee through Firefox it says the XML format is invalid? Is this a setting on my end or something with the RSS feed reader built into Firefox 1.0?

Hmm... Well, I just tested it out with Firefox 1.0PR and I was able to get it to work by opening the bookmark manager and adding each feed manually by using the File > New Live Bookmark... command and pasting in the feed URL. I don't have it set up so that Firefox will automatically detect an associated feed yet, so you won't be able to use the RSS button to add the feed.

Hope that helps.

news feed syndication in Opera browser is pretty good, thought I would say thing about my new favorite browser.

Flock Browser has a good grasp on news feed syndication as well. I like Flock so much that I made it my preference in web browser on my Mac, instead of Apple's official Safari web browser.
