Thanks for taking the time to respond.

I may be doing something out of the ordinary.

I am...

1). Creating an RSS compliant XML file from data in a local database.
and Overwriting it each time a new item is added to the database.
So basically it's a "here's what's new in the catalog" feed.
2). Saving the file on the server in a webfolder so it has a valid URL.
3). Using an RSS feed I created to read that file and create a thread from it.

It works great "First time".
But thereafter, it doesn't matter how much time has passed. It will not create a new post or add to the existing one.

From what I gather, this is due to the Forumrsslog table which keeps track of the ACTIVITY of RSS feeds whereas Forumssfeed is a database of the actual RSS feeds.

It appears that once a thread is created from an RSS feed, it will not change it again because it basically assumes the thread already exists.

The ONLY way around this I can find is to delete the entry for the transaction from the Forumrsslog file immediately before I create a new RSS entry from my other database. I can do this programmatically with ease so it's not a "manual" process, but it seems I should be able to keep adding to this thread with new items. Doing it this way will result in a new THREAD with every update.

I would like to just keep adding posts to the same thread.

Thank to all who reply
