RewriteEngine On # Turn on the rewriting engine
RewriteRule ^RSSrecent/([A-Za-z0-9/\-_,~\(\)]*)?$ cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?action=RSSrecent&catselect=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^RSSrecent$ cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?action=RSSrecent [L]

### end YaBB rewrite ###
If you choose not to use RSSrecent or RSSboard for your symlink, replace the folder name after the ^ with the folder names you plan to use. Once the Mod is installed, go to Admin Center -> Advanced Settings and input your domain url and your chosen folder names. This mod needs the domain url to include the 'http://' part.
Note: We have it installed here so now the url of RSSrecent is
