I think the fix is to make the category _not_ restricted.

Else I’m not seeing the use case for someone wanting to view a topic in RSS format while they’re logged into the forum and can see it as a page.

And if the category is restricted, letting it be an RSS feed external to the forum would defeat the intent of it being restricted, no?

What am I not seeing here?
