Mod support
I port this mod because I need the features before I upgrade my phpbb 2.0.x. I release this mod because I think many others need this. If you think this mod is useful and like to see it get improved, you have to post every piece of needed information stated below, these help me or others to followup your issue.

- Before asking for support of source related issue, check your feed source with FEED Validator first!
If feed not validate, ask support from source.
If the feed is valid, post highlighted contents under Recommendations on the result page (if any). - Please provide useful info instead of post something like "Not working".
Meaningful info for this mod can be: the feed url, the phpBB error message or the server error log, the output of phpinfo page on ACP and the procedure to reproduce the error. - Don't copy & post everything on screen!
If you don't know much about phpBB or apache server or programing, please try your best to pick 3-4 lines which you think should be related to the error. - Support priority will be based on my free time slot and the info quality you provided.
