[bbDev] RSS feeds

[Michael D Adams]

Actually, I've been meaning to throw 'feed:' on everything.  I'd  
forgotten about it, is all.  It's an (at the moment slightly  
controversial) emerging standard for identifying feed links.

You can remove it by going to bb-includes/default-filters.php and  
commenting out all the lines that reference bb_make_feed (there's  
just one at the moment).
