    OptiBoard RSS Syndication for My Yahoo

    How's that for a subject? Geeky enough for you? :D

    Anyway the is a beta feature on My Yahoo that allows you to add RSS syndicated web content to your My Yaohoo page. If you are a My Yahoo user, go here:

    http://e.my.yahoo.com/config/xcontent

    Then enter this in Add New Sources:

    http://www.optiboard.com/forums/external.php?type=rss

    ...and click on Search'. It should find the site and add it in the Edit Selected Sources section. Now choose your disaplay option, then click on 'Finish'. The latest OptiBoard threads will now show up on your My Yahoo page.
