my initial post for this hack has a list of some common RSS feeds, it is at the very bottom of the post just above the attachments.

Is there any way to avoid the bot posting the same headlines again and again?

is there a pubDate field in the feed you are pulling?

Slapyo - very nice hack. I've installed it and it works fine.

The only problem I can see is when the RSS feeds are pulled in, e.g. from The Register, the oldest posts are appearing that the top. I guess you can't do anything about that and it's down to the people that create the XML?

/me clicks install.

ya, its some weird thing with how the RSS script processes the feed. i've noticed that as well.

I would give blood for an rss feed that had more than a simple 1 line description with a link. I want to keep users on my forum. I would gladly pay for this service.

Hi. The w3c accepted ATOM feed format as the standard (blooger is also promoting them).

Any chance of an ATOM version of this script for the future?

as of right now i don't plan on doing any more to the script till i finish up school. have a few weeks left till i graduate then i will have some time. but there were a couple things i was thinking about adding in. one was adding in the ability to use RDF feeds, so this would go along with that, i could make an option for what kind of feed it is. will keep this in mind.

Great. I'll check the code to see if I can help. Best regards and good luck with school.
