you can look around on there for news feeds.

what exactly do you mean?

i want to select exactly what appears on my site before the bot posts it

Slapyo - I've just had a thought about why it might be duplicating posts for certain forums. If you've included the slight code modification highlighted by yourself in Post 222 of this thread (which strips HTML codes from the thread title), then could it be that because tags are being removed, the titles are different. Therefore, when a comparison is made, they fundamentally look different and therefore get posted as a new thread?

The reason this happens for some forums and not others, is because some RSS feeds don't use HTML tags and some do?

What do you reckon?

oh you want to moderate which posts come in ... hrm, unless there is a built in option to moderate posts by forum, it's not built into the rss feed. sorry.

true, that could also be it. maybe a comparison of the title with html tags stripped to a comparison of the title from the feed with html tags stripped.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: html_entity_decode() in /home/street44/public_html/forum/includes/RSS/rss_update.php on line 77

I've had a think about my problem using feeds without a publication date.

Would it be possible to modify the code, so that it only checks for similarly titled threads? Without any date checking? I think that would solve my problems at least for the meantime :)

I think that's a good idea and probably would solve it. You're not likely to get the same headline again - so that would work for me also.

Slapyo - any ideas?
