So it works fine from IE (with the cookie), but not with NGI since it doesn't pass the cookie. Perhaps that's an option that could be added by feed?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Although... if anyone knows how to get vBulletin to accept some sort of credential in the URL, I could probably talk the admin into add that hack for me.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Adam</description><pubDate>Tue, 22 Apr 2008 07:30:41 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>astanley</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
