Fady Joined: Mar 07, 2010 Posts: 2254 North Carolina	Posted on Mar 08 2011 03:56 PM Hey, don't know if it's just me, but I'm seeing comments for PotD and Polls show up in what looks to be that Lucida Grande font! Could be that there isn't a default font defined so it's whatever the local browser wants to show... anywho, looks kinda nice from here. — Fady El Mirage @ ReverbNation Top
RK Joined: Sep 25, 2009 Posts: 127 Montreal, Kwee-bec	Posted on Mar 09 2011 09:38 AM Greetings, Well done on the new site but I'm having a problem with the RSS feeds. I was using it for the old forum and would get new posts as they arrived, but now I only get a few. I seem to get 10 posts around midnight, and maybe 10 around lunch time. I'm pretty sure there have been more than 120 posts in the last week. My other RSS feeds seem normal. I have updated to the new links. If I delete my feed in Outlook, and re-add it, I get 10 posts. Am I missing something? Thanks for your site and efforts, RK — RK Last edited: Mar 09, 2011 09:39:02 Top
Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19270 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Mar 09 2011 09:46 AM RK, I did a quick glance at the settings and currently the feed only goes back to the last 10 posts. And on top of that, the feed is cached and only updated once an hour. Those settings are probably fine for the news stories but probably too conservative for forum posts. I'll look into tweaking them. Thanks for the report. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?

Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19270 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Mar 14 2011 08:46 PM RK: give me a few days and I'll adjust the forums RSS settings. Here is the ticket for that issue. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site? SG101 FAQ - Send me a private message - Email me "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea Top
Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19270 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Mar 15 2011 09:19 PM RK: I adjusted the forums RSS feed settings as follows: TTL (time to live) is now 1 hour instead of 7 Retrieve the last 30 posts instead of 10 Feed is cached for 15 minutes So now, every hour your RSS client can go retrieve the last 30 posts, instead of getting the last 10 posts every 7 hours. It might take a few hours for the cache to clear. I expect by tomorrow morning it should be working better. Let me know. Hopefully these settings will be more useful. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site? SG101 FAQ - Send me a private message - Email me "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea Top

Email subscribers as soon as the thread is posted in. I don't really like the daily digest email, and I don't necessarily want to visit the thread. That keeps me looking for just stuff I'm not subscribed to already. But again that's just my personal preference and my habits of using the site. Please do whatever you think is best for the site. Ryan, I put it back to the original behavior since there were no overwhelming opinions in the poll. You should get an email every time someone posts to a topic you are subscribed to now. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?
