Any plan on opening up the vBulletin RSS feed for the forums, for users to subscribe to? It'd be a nice way of quickly checking through the day whether there are any new threads.

You need to enable it in your admin options. Then you can access the feeds via URL (or subscribe to them using an RSS reader for example).
Also a cool way of including the latest threads in external pages.

vB control panel -> vBulletin Options -> External Data Provider -> Enable RSS Syndication.
There's also a code snippet floating around somewhere that you can put in your header to let RSS readers (like Firefox) know that there is an RSS feed available for the site. Firefox users will then see an RSS icon that they can click on to subscribe to the feed.
