Slapyo,

Just to let you know that I can know pick up the Scotsman feeds that were previously a problem - the ones with the ' in them. It doesnae remove the spurious characters, but it doesnae duplicate, and it picks up the new items. Godsend and Top work fellow!

I'm now having problems with other feeds not adding anything new in. I know there could be a million reasons for this, so I'll report back when I've investigated a bit more so as not to waste your time.

Thanks again, an appreciative php tube :)

bobby, go ahead and post the links. maybe someone else will know or can look at it, or i can check it out as well. get a few heads in on this thinking about it.

I have been playing around and testing this. For the longest I was not having duplicate posts/threads for certain feeds and was only having problems with one feed duplicating. Now it is going nuts. I downloaded the latest version, removed the version that was in there and put in this latest one.

Feeds I am having issues with.

http://rss.crash.net/crash_1.xml (F1 Racing feed)

and

http://www.just-auto.com/affiliates/features_rss.asp

Now I have had issues with that just auto feed before and it cleared up, but now just came back last night. The crash.net feed is wierd. I have 4 other crash feeds that are not having any issues and have updated through out the day. It is only screwing up on the one listed above and only repeating one thread over and over, not everyone off that feed. The one repeating has not been updated on their site at all and is actually a few days old.

Do other RSS readers have the same problem ? with it constantly updating ?

I have been testing that out and I would have to say no on the crash.net. The Just-auto did it only 2 times in the last week(checked for updates hourly just like the forum), but on my test forums it hit every call.

Has anyone else had a problem where the rss just stops updating?
It was working ok, then suddenly it stopped reporting on the 29th of June, yet nothing has changed?
The news feed I was getting was the bbc one.

Where can I actually change the "View the entire article" to something else?

I've added seperate users for each newsfeed [a list of ex girlfriends, top idea I thought] and the all post into my forum here:

Now the Scotsman feed [Gillian] works perfectly http://www.masshibsteria.com/vb/showthread.php?t=7560
http://sport.scotsman.com/football_h...cfm?format=rss

*since the last updated release, it duplicated prior to that

The Official Hibs website feed [Caroline] used to work perfectly, but since the file update it doesnae work. I ran the first cron job and it took the feeds, but since then nothing

****Now I think about it, I edited some code earlier in the thread, so as not to check for time: That might be the problem, so I'll go back and change it.******

Edit: I don't think that's the problem https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=272 - I've overwritten that file with the new one. :(

been busy this weekend, will have a better chance to look at all this on tuesday sorry.

No rush Donnie: if you can when you can would be most appreciated.

Getting the scotsman one to work was a BIG help for me, thank yous.
