Look under your scheduled tasks and make sure you have a scheduled task called "AboutToday". By default, it will run every 15 minutes. If you want your feeds to update more often than that, you'll need to make a need scheduled task. If you arrange the times right, you could then get the feeds updated every 7 minutes. BUT ... the scheduled tasks are run sequentially each time a vb page is loaded. So, if your board goes for 2 hours with no hits, no scheduled tasks will run.

For the next release, I may include a file that can be set to run from unix cron ... but I haven't decided if it's really worth the trouble or not.

EDIT: one more item ... when you are looking at the scheduled tasks, run the "AboutToday" task to make sure it is working okay. Maybe you forgot to load the cron_abouttoday.php file to includes/cron

If you want me to look into this more deeply for you, PM me your login for a forum account with admin privileges and the url to your site.
