Thanks a lot for the quick reply and for the clarification. Yes, indeed we are talking about the same thing. To further clarify my findings:

1. Per forum RSS is run by Forum_rss.aspx.vb where GetForumRss prepares the rssdoc.

2. In GetForumRss tabID is set to be config.TabID as in

Dim tabID As Integer = config.TabID

3. TabID in turn comes from ForumConfig.vb by the accessor

Public ReadOnly Property TabID() As Integer
Get
Return mTabID
End Get
End Property

4. Where does mTabID come from

mTabID = _portalSettings.ActiveTab.TabID

Step 4 is what my original comment is about that it is using the ActiveTab and that is not guaranteed to be the forums tab.

In fact, I could very well see the problem here on this forum (although not as apparent as in my case)

If you click on the XML button on the forum, it takes you to -

http://www.dotnetnuke.com/DesktopModules/Forum/Forum_Rss.aspx?forumid=7

In the Rss that got generated you would see the tabid 839 whereas the tab it is hosted on is 820.

Anyway, may be my eyes are deceiving me but I would appreciate if you can look into it.

Thank you,
Annam

I think I know what is going on here.  The forums have the ability to display groups on different pages, but they feed from the 'parent' forum.  These instances of the module are using the same moduleid but the tabid is different.  (Different pages on your site)  To make it clear, the intention was to only to syndicate from the 'parent' forum because the parent/child groups item was an enhancement which was later added to the project.  This is nothing more than an oversight on our/my part.  I have to think about how to change this, so please confirm or deny if my assumptions are correct.

Thanks for the reply.
This is my issue:
The home page www.edudotnet.it is at TabID 68
http://www.edudotnet.it/Default.aspx?tabid=68

The forums is at TabID 54

http://www.edudotnet.it/Forum/tabid/54/Default.aspx

One of the sub forum (Studenti) is at this page

http://www.edudotnet.it/Forum/tabid/54/forumid/8/scope/threads/Default.aspx

If you use the XML button you can see the the RSS is populated with all post (3) but that point to TabID 68 (home page)
http://www.edudotnet.it/Default.aspx?tabid=68&forumid=8&scope=posts&threadid=15

But in this home page there is not any forum.

Thanks for your job and for your patience
