Obviously there would be thq question of how you authenticate without sending a password in plaintext but I'm sure you can get around that somehow.

I mean, IPB import a RSS feed and adds 2 new topics from, ie, GUID <a href="http://www.local.host/go/12" rel="nofollow">http://www.local.host/go/12</a> and <a href="http://www.local.host/go/13" rel="nofollow">http://www.local.host/go/13</a> . It's excellent to see on the board these 2 new topics but is there a way back too ? Could i retrieve by a query topics on the board/RSS forum the $topic['id'] thanks to the 2 GUID ? It would be very helpfull to link the topic from a website for example and then, make people replying to the news directly into the topic.

When you save the RSS import stream, IPB looks up the username and actually saves the ID of the member in the database. When it shows you the form, it gets the username from the saved ID and displays it in the form. I figured that was more user friendly than asking one to enter a member ID which is a little esoteric. > Maybe you can make it settable to “Unapproved” or “Approved”

Already a feature. :)

Quick Question. I see in the admin area the rss feed is posted into the forum as a user. I'm guessing in IPB the 'id' is primary for the users so to get a user from the database you use the id. It appears that you just type the name of the user in the admin cp. So what happeneds if the username is changed for that user. Just a thought. Am sure there's a reason behind it though. Very swish.
