Hope this is the right place to post this.

I have had this problem since the intro of 4. beta and im now at 4.14 and still have this problem.

The rss bot never runs and posts new threads. I have to do it manually, which sometimes leads to getting the "Please complete both the subject and message fields." message.

I have lowered the amount of items to fetch to two per feed. I have 70ish feeds


Can anyone give me advice?

I found this:

Bug Confirmed by Tech Support: RSS Feeds causing "Please complete both the subject and message fields" Error (https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/project.php?issueid=36702)

But it doesnt seem to go into much detail, and the post is over a year old

Can we get a screen cap of your rss settings and a link to the feed?

I figured a work around.

There is a bug. The rssbot stops when encountering a rss feed link without a user title. Then gives the before mention error message. This problem was reported in 4. but was never fixed.

You need to add a character after {rss title} For mine I addedd {..}
