So, although you can set a feed to update more often than once an hour, it will really update no more than once an hour. If you really want it to run more often than that, I can tell you what to do.
That's a good idea. I'll look into that more.

If it is easy enough to explain then yes I would like to know how to update the news every 5 minutes.

The deleting of old news articles with 0 replies would be cool. I have one user account that pulls only RSS feeds so if it's easier to delete old threads that the user creates that would work too. Another option would be to delete news articles once the links no longer work.

I would like to donate some $$$ to you. Do you have a site with a donate button or paypal.
