Did it again but different newsbot and in a completely closed forum for everyone but the bots. Note, it's also using people who have no permissions to post in there.

Any ideas?

the feed you are using may not have the pubDate field in it, this could be causing the problems with the date.

are you using the latest version of the news bot? this was a problem with a previous version that has now been fixed. you have to edit a couple of files as well as upload the included files.

can people reply to the posts? yes, if your forum is set up with it's permissions to allow it.

this should fix the &quot; problem:

in rss_update.php FIND:

				// Setup the thread

ABOVE ADD:

$rss_title = str_replace(""", "\"", $rss_title);
$rss_description = str_replace(""", "\"", $rss_description);
