Hi there - hoping someone can help me !! I have a forum using version 1.9.5 RC (version 43) which will not allow me to access the RSS feeds unless logged into the forum. Is there some way I can turn this off so everyone including guests can access the feeds? Or can I pass authentication details from my RSS reader in the URL some way? Thanks

Login the forum using host user.
Under host settings , you can change the features of RSS feeds.
