It looks like vBulletin supports RSS: http://theos.in/internet/howto-add-vbulletin-rss-feed/
This would be a great enhancement to the site!!!

Now change the default Font size to this,Not this, And I think every one would be happy! Getting used to the blue lines......................Maybe.............
Although when I came here, it didn't Remember where I left off before. It took me to the top of the first page and I had to go to the last page button then scroll to the bottom of the last page to post this.....
See how hard the above sentence is to read..................In the default font?????
This will not be fixed for the forum itself, but if you would like you can always enlarge or reduce font sizes for your own individual browser.

Note: To reset the font setting back to its default size, hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and then tap the number 0.
To change font settings on Chrome:
1. Open Chrome.
2. In the upper right, click the Wrench icon and then click Options.
3. In the left panel, click Under the Hood.
4. In the "Web Content" section, click the Font Size drop-down menu, and select the size you want.
5. Close the Options Tab.
Note: To reset the font setting back to its default size, hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and then tap the number 0.
To change font settings on Safari:
1. Open Safari.
2. Click View, and then choose either Zoom In or Zoom Out to increase or decrease the font size.

It does! And it's enabled - to use, please go to main forum listing homepage and observe small "RSS" icon towards the middle of a page. Example: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/exte...2&forumids=235

well, if they can limit the stickies to first page of each forum, then for the most part the site seems to be working ok. still not enthused about the look, wondering why the font is so small that even with the abbreviated id info on the right, most posts do not use enough space to use all the left over white space, and the ability to have more than 20 threads per forum thread listing page would be great.

You should be able to see member's hometown and state/country on the left side of the page.
Are you unable to see that?

OK, moving on to the next item I use ... search
I have never liked the "new search". Like google it finds too much irrelevant stuff.
I usually end up going to the "old search" and find what I want. Tried new search today and got ... not what I wanted.
Looking for this discussion
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/rc-r...aturation.html
Keyword used was saturation - not found. got a lot of posts from 2009
Tried to go to old search - ... "Not Found" - old search is not there.
Win 7 and IE 10

Are you still have this issue? Please clarify what you mean by "old search" and "new search"- but regarding your use-case; we immediately found the thread that you were looking for for keyword "saturation", it was 3rd result.

Hi, here is some information that might help the admins fix the new post notification issues. When I get one of thee emails the link in it looks like this -> http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/foru...-new-post.html
All of the vbulletin forums I get these notifications always have &goto=newpost at the end of this line, why is this one any different.Now the main issue which does not look right to me is when I click this link i'm taken to the forum.
The thread starts to load then the screen refreshes and then just when the thread has nearly loaded it seems to refresh again. There's something weird going on here. So I used the developer tools in chrome to capture the pages to see what the heck it's doing.
The two screenshots attached are when I first load the link from the url and when thepage is refreshing later on.Now the weird thing is it seems to try and goto page 29 (there are only 20 pages), it the refreshes and loads page 20 which is correct... cool. But no it refreshes again and then loads page 18.Hopefully the admins can make sense of this, as this doesn't seem right to me and could ecplain why people are getting random pages rather than being loaded to their last unread posts page.

FWIW, when I get notices from this thread and click on the link I still go to page 3 for some reason. Clicking "last" takes me to the right page, but the expectation is that clicking the link takes me to the post of which I was notified.
I will note that on some forums the link takes me to the last post I read the last time I was in that thread. I don't care for that but that but it is the way it works on some of the other forums. When I click a link in a notice of a post, I want to be taken to that post.
Win 7 IE 10 Windows Livemail

How to Stop Email Unwanted Notifications?
Starting a couple weeks ago I have been getting emails like "Dear LDHFlyguy, You are subscribed to the forum ----------------------------------------, there have been ___ new thread(s) and ___ updated thread(s). They say I'm subscribed to a variety of forums that I've never been subscribed to. In fact I'm only subscribed to 1 forum. How do I stop the notifications? I've looked around the site for a link/button/menu to do this.

Are you guys going to do anything about the apperance of the site?
The control bars at the top of forum pages take up too much space and are redundant....
The dark blue dividing bars look terrible and no one wants them, please make them go away.
All the blocky boxes around the user info at the left of post looks like a filled in form, terrible and tacky.
You guys had a good looking site before, for what insane reason did you decide to do THIS to it ?!?
