Are you trying to pull the rss feeds from other sites and display them on your site hosted here?
If thats what you're trying to do, it's not possible. Hosted sites here cannot connect to any other sites.

If you're trying to create an rss feed for your users, i'm sure someone else will have your answer.

Still not sure what your trying to do.
Make an rss feed out of news posts you have on your site (and new ones of course)
or
Show news posts and updates from OTHER sites?

to pull news from my own site man

Well if you want to pull news from the forum, SMF has a general rss feed, but I don't know if you can set it up to only read from certain categories. yours is http://www.dimx-gfx.net/index.php?type=rss;action=.xml (firefox lets you know when there is a feed on the page with the rss icon next to the site address.

If you want to have a page on your site where you post news articles (not in the forums) and have them fed through rss, try a news script. I personally like cutenews.

After a short google search I found this http://www.scribbledesigns.co.uk/2007/01/2...machines-forum/ explaining how to get the rss feed for a certain forum. So say your news forum for instance. But it does say that if there are replies to the initial topic, that topic might show up many times on your feed, so maybe make the news forum read only.

If I'm still not hitting the nail right I'm sorry. Best I can do with the limited info you're providing here.

Well, if you go to RSS-to-JavaScript.com you can have a script generated, but it will be java script and not PHP. Thats what i had to do, as every PHP method only gave me an error. this one works, sometimes it might not update right away, but its free, and it works like a charm for me. there's also another free generator here http://itde.vccs.edu/rss2js/build.php and it doesn't post a link back to the site of the generator, but it also doesn't keep the html formatting of your feed, like if you have links posted within your blog or what have you, they will be useless. anyway, hope this helps
