Most news aggregators like FeedDemon have a feature that allows you to just insert the url to the website and the software detects the url to the xml file on it self and you don't need to find out where exactly the newsfeed is.
This little code snippet (its a template mod for vbulletintemplates.com) tells the software where the newsfeed is. It's really handy. Here's a practical demonstration: Imagin vbulletin.com has this 'hack' installed. Now you install FeedDemon and you only need to enter www.vbulletin.com/forum and FeedDemon automatically finds out where the newsfeed is.  No members have liked this post.

This isnt a hack, its a template Mod. A nice one but still a template mod.

How does it integrate with the mod I mentioned above? Since each page has its own discovery now, can your mod be modified to work with that mod?

For the record, I use a very similar technique to activate Firefox Live Bookmarks
I'm only posting this so that anyone who wants a hack to enable Live Bookmarks will realise that this achieves that too No members have liked this post.

I'm on vB 3.0.1 - do I need to upgrade to 3.0.3 for this to work? btw, I have live bookmark feeds working on other sites (eg BBC News). Any ideas?? Michael. No members have liked this post.

Global feed of all latest posts is on every page, and the forum specific feed is on any page that can provide forum info (such as forumdiaply.php or showthread.php  ).That should work, does on mine No members have liked this post.
