Hi,
Nice work on the latest edition BTW.
I have an issue with the rss feeds.
I am bringing the forum feeds into my web pages and it performs well. However the image pathes are incorrect and as a result the images do not show.
My forum path is like
 
http://www.nameofsite.co.uk/containingfolder/forum/default.asp - www.nameofsite.co.uk/containingfolder/forum/default.asp
 
The feeds with images show the image path like below 
http://www.nameofsite.co.uk/uploads/1234/.jpg - www.nameofsite.co.uk/uploads/1234/image.jpg
or
http://www.nameofsite.co.uk/Forums/1234/.jpg - www.nameofsite.co.uk/ForumImages/1234/image.jpg
 
as a result, the image fails to show in the rss feed - it should be
http://www.nameofsite.co.uk/containingfolder/forum/uploads/1234/.jpg - www.nameofsite.co.uk/containingfolder/forum/uploads/1234/image.jpg
 
In forum general settings set up my path to the forum is
http://www.nameofsite.co.uk/containingfolder/forum - www.nameofsite.co.uk/containingfolder/forum
 
I tried to use the same address to my site home page in gen settings aswell but no difference.
 
Is there somewhere in the files i can change to create the correct file name?
 
It should be noted: I am bringing the feeds into my web site via a asp.net user control. As i say the feed text is there and the links take me to the forum and the correct post - its just an image issue.
Sorry if this question has been asked before.
Many thanks
JIM

The only way to fix this would be to parse the feed and update the URL for the images to the new URL from your new location.
