Is there a way to import an RSS feed into a forum?

... akin to vB's RSS Feed Manager. Not a huge necessity, but it would make a side project of mine a lot easier

You mean automatically import RSS feeds as Threads ?

Try searching for RSS.
/heh.
I'd like to see 3 letter words available for Title Searching (not entire Post searching).

There is no such feature in the current software. I don't see an addon for it either. You can post a request or suggestion:

If you mean feeds to threads (I'm not familiar with the vBulletin feature), it's not possible currently but has been suggested: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/suggestion-rss-import-feeder.3815/

Thanks Brogan, added my like / bump to that thread.

Looks like I'll have to resurrect my vB testing bed to make this side project easier, unless someone has some easy code around to import an RSS feed (filtered through Yahoo Pipes) into mySQL or the like. Yeah, yeah, I could code an XML parser, but I'm too busy (and lazy) to do it ATM

I'm using Google's Feed API for my needs, but that's for displaying feeds in a sidebar block

You don't save the output of the feed though, correct? That's what I need to do.
