At that point I began remodelling your Hack, removing your modifications at index.php and forumdisplay.php and creating a cron-job (which vB3 provides).

That way I solved two annoying problems:
1. The slowdown by getting the RSS every time forumdisplay or index is used
2. Reduction of traffic
3. Reducing the risk of IP-Banning

@Xyphen:
I'll send you the cron-version... feel free to use it ^^

?TomokiG?

I could use this also if u could post it for me plz..

I too noticed refresh was taking longer as I added more feeds..needs to refresh from the cron only.. which when i run the rssupdate no new post are posted..i have one from worldpress that updates every 30 mins but doesn't after initially getting first load..the rss_update says completed but no new entries..

here is my site in it's infancy, http://www.newsoutlet.info/forums/index.php you can view the site..if not let me know..

I like the admincp option..would like to see this expanded on, for instance to have the ability to delete a bot..deleting the user does not delete the bot and u will get db errors unless u phpadmin in and manually make changes..

Would like to see if there is a way having to create a new user for each feed..have tried to create 2 bots using same user but post in different forums..the first bot will post but not the second..so have to create a new user for each bot..

I can live with everything except the updating issue..is anyone else getting regular updates?

This is still an awesome hack with alot of potential..just wish I was a coder, to exploit the potential..

Well any help or pointers would be appreciated
