Default Why RSS feed option not made available?

I have seen many forums based on phpbb2 having an ikon of RSS feed which members can subscribe. I need this feature for my form.

Is it a phpbb mod if so can it be installed for us so we can use it.
Thanks

Yes, you will have to register an account and make a certain post requirement.

The image hoster is probably down, or it doesn't exist anymore.

I just tried it, so the images won't display.

Yes I would like to know for sure but after registering I still haven't got confirmation email.
I don't know how else can I browse the forum, on top of that its not working so can you please post the info right here so I can at least get to know what that is?

Ok I got the PM read it but don't understand how it is applicable in my case, I signed at http://rssfeedreader.com/ but thats not what I want.

Let me clarify it again, I don't want news feed displayed on my forums,
instead I want my forums to be read by RSS reader for which I need to create a feed of my forum & then it should show a link somewhere on my forum so members can subscribe to it.

I have seen many forums based on phpbb2 having an icon of RSS feed which members can subscribe to read it via RSS reader, I need this feature for my forum.

Here is one such example I found.
http://www.dpreview.com/forums/ see that orange icon
http://www.tawbaware.com/forum2/

The link which was posted above does not give that facility
or have I misunderstood it, please let me know as I need this soon.

That is not possible, you would have to install a modification for that.

Sorry.

It can be a paid service may be,
but why deprive people of technology when its freely available to integrate as a mod.

So sad that I have to move to some other board or try IPB instead, on our forum we have few doctors who are busy & they need to answer certain post, so they need that all post to be made available to them via rss feed, or email with the post content.
