ok i seem to have narrowed it down. if i use a absolute path on my server then it will accept the feed. If i use any URL it wont accept it.

I wondered does this mean theres a problem with my paths in articlebot.php but ive tried switching them around but nada?

Will someone PLEASE add some code to truncate the DISPLAY URL?

my site www.ipodarena.com is running vbadvanced but the news column is narrow. I have to manually edit URLs so they dont stretch the box and make my right side box too narrow.

you coulld set the column to be fixed width or I guess you dont want the wrap either

damn im stumped - spent half a day just trying to get this werkin hehe

anyone with any experience with this able to offer me some assistance?

Can anyone help me with the cache errors below?

Thanks!

Check my implementation using 'Aibo' - the Sony robot dog:

I check feeds carefully first, and keep the posting rate quite low.

Cheers!

OK, new question.

I eliminated the bots posts from showing up on the search page, but now need to eliminate their posts from being counted on the forum home page.

For example, their posts arent showing up on the search page, but their posts are still counted here.

How can I eliminate this?

Nevermind!

my ++++ing host has disabled the PHP option allow_url_fopen

BLAH

is there going to be anyway I can include an rss feed on my forum without this function?

where do I ask general questions on this forum?
