Error RSS not working

YJD · 09-22-2008, 12:29 PM

Hi,

I have been using your site for some time now, and I use meanly your RSS feed. My start page is Netvibes.com and there is a problem.

I do get your RSS feed good, but it isn't the latest, like 2 days old.
I do not have any problem with netvibes with any other RSS feed (and I use a lot of them).
I do not have any problem with your RSS when I'm using Firefox.

Can anybody help? I would like to get the RSS of PentaxForums back on my start page.

I'm not sure how your start page works or reads the feed; maybe someone else has more info on this?

I also am having issues with Netvibes and the RSS feed for this site. The last update I received was 1 week ago. However I am also having issues with the RSS feed in Firefox as well.

Oh, I just corrected my Netvibes feed. Try changing the last number in the feed address to another feed like 14 for instance and save the setting. Then change it back to the original number and save again.

Thanks! It seems to work, but if I remember right, I did try that, and the problem reaper afterward.

With Firefox, I just need to do a refresh and I get it.

So I think help is still needed.

You are correct. After a little while the Netvibes feed reverted back to the old threads from a week ago. Oh well.

I email Netvibes, we will see where that goes to.
I hope they will both (netvibes, and pentaxforums) look at the problem.

Does anyone else is using the RSS and has no problem? Or has problems?

I got a reply from Netvibes:

Do you notice an improvement on the refresh of this feed now?

I've done it and are testing to see if later on today, the problem will be fixed.
I'll keep you guys updated.

I also have a small problem with RSS feeds from PentaxForums. They refresh ok when I ask it to on Firefox... but they don't refresh automatically when all my other feeds do. Not sure if it's related...

In my case, I also can't see how it could be PentaxForums that is causing the problem but if anybody can point me in the right direction...

The problem is still here even after doing what netvibes said.

I get the same problem with Firefox than you Frank. I'm starting to think it is PentaxForums who has a problem with their RSS.
Can anyone confirm they have no problems with the RSS? And how do they use it?
