boards, But I've been asked if there is a way to get an RSS feed FROM
the message boards on my BBS.

Yes. See web/root/rss.ssjs.

Is there an entry in the wiki that explains how to set it up, and explains to the users how to subscribe to my rss feed?

I've tried subing to RSS feeds years ago, but was never able to get them working.

and explains

If they just go to your /rss.ssjs URL using a web browser (you provide them a link), it's pretty obvious.

I've tried subing to RSS feeds years ago, but was never able to get them working.

Try again and if you have troubles, let us know.

Ok, I've created the rss.ini in the ctrl folder, recycled the webserver, but when I try to go to the website to test it I keep getting 404 errors:

I even tried putting the rss.ssjs file in the webv4/root folder as well with the same results.

Yes, if you're using webv4, you would need to copy symlink the rss.ssjs file to its "root" directory.

Works for me:

That was an attempt from YOUR site. I tried in both the web based, as well as adding it to Thunderbird. Neither of them would agrigate your feed.

I understand, but you're using YOUR RSS reader of choice.

I haven't looked at rss.ssjs in years.

It *used* to work: http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/web/root/rss.ssjs?view=log

If the standards have evolved, I'm sure it wouldn't take much work for someone that cared to adjust the script accordingly.
