I've started using RSS Feeds a lot nowadays and I've noticed that ZBC still doesn't have any RSS options. I've used this web service called Dapper (http://www.dappit.com/) ( www.dappit.com (http://www.dappit.com) ) to create an RSS feed for the Main Forums. It's not as perfect as I would like it, but it works pretty well.
Just copy and paste this into your RSS Feed reader and it should work fine:
http://www.dappit.com/transform.php?dappName=ZbrushMainForum&transformer=RSS&applyToUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pixolator.com%2Fzbc%2F forumdisplay.php%3Ff%3D2&extraArg_title=Thread_Title&extraArg_description[]=Thread_Author&extraArg_description[]=Last_Post_Date&extraArg_link=Thread_Title%40href&extraArg_pubDate=Last_Post_Date (http://www.dappit.com/transform.php?dappName=ZbrushMainForum&transformer=RSS&applyToUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pixolator.com%2Fzbc%2F forumdisplay.php%3Ff%3D2&extraArg_title=Thread_Title&extraArg_description%5B%5D=Thread_Author&extraArg_description%5B%5D=Last_Post_Date&extraArg_link=Thread_Title%40href&extraArg_pubDate=Last_Post_Date)
The feed sorts things based on the most recent thread creation/reply. And the item descriptions are in the format of: <Thread Author>, <Last Reply Date>.
If you're looking for a nice online RSS feed reader, I'd recommend Google Reader (http://reader.google.com/), or Netvibes (http://www.netvibes.com/).
Hope this is useful for you.
