One issue - or intended behavior - that support confirmed with me has to do with the underlying database's interaction with the RSS robot.

If an RSS feed item has been read by the RSS robot EVER, then it won't be re-read. You can create a new vBulletin RSS feed (based on your external RSS feed), you can freate a new forum, you can prune all the previousy generated RSS item threads - and the RSS items that have been previously read will NO be read again.

There was another post - can't remember which one - where the poster gave a SQL example of how to clear out this persisted durangement on the part of the RSS robot.

At that point, the RSS robot will re-read items.

Along with my prior post, I've seen the scheduling be flaky as well. Like the last poster says, there is random stoppage in the RSS feeds. I don't think the scheduled jobs work properly but I haven't asked support about this yet.

Danny.VBT - is it possible to incorporate a different RSS component into vBulletin?
