Doing what Sir Chivas mentioned could be the only plausible solution at the moment. To get you started I set up an example code.
I'll be using my test forum as an example. The setup is mainly a link, image, and hook. The hook is used to stylize and position the image via CSS, I'll explain below on how to modify this code.
- Code:
<a href="/feed?f=1" title="Feed - FORUM TITLE HERE" target="_blank"><span class="feed-icon-forum"><img src="http://i38.servimg.com/u/f38/15/60/53/22/rss_sm10.png" /></span></a>
<a href="/feed?f=1" <-- This is the reference to one of your forums RSS feeds. To modify the feed of which the url will take you to simply change the value of 'feed?f=1' to 'feed?f=2' to specify another RSS feed. You can find the feed number of these forums by looking to the the url of a forum and locating the FID#(forum ID number).
https://i.servimg.com/u/f37/18/21/41/30/ex15.pngtitle="Feed - FORUM TITLE HERE" <-- This is the content displayed when a user hovers their mouse over the link/image. It can be modified, or removed if you desire.
target="_blank"> <-- This opens the link in a new tab, if you wish to have the page open within the same window you can remove that.
<span class="feed-icon-forum"> <-- this is our hook for the image so we can customize it via CSS.
<img src="https://i.servimg.com/u/f38/15/60/53/22/rss_sm10.png" /> <-- and this is our image; you can replace the current image url with an image of your liking.
</span></a> <-- closing tags.

To place the code above into a forum do the following..
Admin Panel > General > Forum > Categories and Forums
Click modify(
) on one of your forums, paste the code in its description(make sure to change the feed ID to the correct ID of the forum.) and save. Then go to your CSS Style sheet..
Display > Pictures and Colors > Colors > CSS Stylesheet and paste the following code
- Code:
/*Forum RSS Feed*/
.feed-icon-forum {
float: right;
position: relative;
top: -10px;
transition: 1.5s;
}
.feed-icon-forum:hover {
opacity: 0.5;
}
You may need to modify 'position' as this was put together for phpbb2. You can review an example of the display on my test forum.
http://angestesting.forumotion.com/forumIt may be tedious to do as you'll need to place this in the description of every forum, and every new forum you add. I'm sure this can be done much easier via Javascript however, I don't know that language yet. So I put together what Sir Chivas suggested you do.
