Here's a feed it does like: http://leovilletownsquare.com/fusionbb/rss/fid15.xml

It also likes the feed for your blog on the main page.  I think its only going to work if given a direct link to the xml file.  Thanks for the effort you're putting in, I really appreciate it.

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication.  Basically if someone has a blog you like going to, or in this case forum, and if they provide a RSS feed, you can subscribe to it and everytime its updated your browser or RSS reader of choice will alert you and give you a preview of the post made.  Hope that helps.    Wikipedia has a good page on it LINK

Glad you added the RSS feeds...but wow, that is a bright and shiny link button. I like the subdued colors + layout of the site, and the largish orange buttons are a bit out of place. But maybe you're just making them so prominent until everyone sees that RSS is available now.

That's right, Leaf.  I specifically did it with RSS instead of graphics so that I could easily tone them down later.

Well, the problem is there is no static XML file for the forums.  It is generated on the fly when a user requests it.  The XML output here is not strict, but it is consistent with standard practice.  It is consistent with the feed you give as an example, too.  So you're probably right about that. 
This may have to wait for a much more ambitious feed aggregation project I've been working on in my spare time.
