All forums on this site have rss feeds(which was unaware to me) unless i updated to firefox 3.

an example to find the forum rss feeds:

We are in the lounge, which is forum 2(check your url where it says f=2)

The RSS url's are like this,
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=2

all you have to do is replace the number at the end of the forumids=

Sadly, i havent found a way to use this setup to rss single threads.

I know im going to be using this for the exclusive sketchbook section :D

it only works with new threads, not new posts. So an RSS feed for exclusive sketchbooks will be pointless.

I think there is prolly some code out there that will allow you to get a RSS feed of your subcribed threads.

Check your rights for the forum. You need to be logged in to view the exclusive sketchbooks normally right? I'm guessing a RSS viewer cant access the feed because it cant log in.

yeah that didn't even cross my mind that it required you to be logged in to view it...

both my ignorance of rss feeds and my tiredness played part in missing that.
