Forum RSS feeds

[smiggy]

Hello.

I notice that the forum NZB RSS feeds haven't been updated since 12 May, according to Google Reader.

Am I using the wrong feed URLs (the ones Firefox gives in the address bar), or are they planned to be re-enabled at all?

Ta.

They're always up to date, check that link as an example.

The TV/films/software NZB feeds are empty and the most recent cache on Google Reader is 12 May.

Found the problem. It won't let you view the rss because those forums don't allow guests to see thread content.

Will have to see what reality wants to do about this.

The feeds won't display while logged in via Firefox either.

I don't mind if I need to use my cookies to get the feed - I can make my feed reader use my cookie. Indeed, requiring the viewer to be logged in to view those feeds would be an understandable requirement.

It doesn't work that way though. The RSS just shows what guests can see. :(

Is that the final verdict, that the RSS feed won't be available, or is a decision still being made? If it counts for anything, I would also like to have an RSS feed for NZBs.

Okay I asked reality.
He says if you're logged in to the forum using IE and then use this news reader (or another one which supports sending cookies, apparantly my firefox doesn't :/) then it will show you the feeds: GreatNews (http://www.curiostudio.com/)

I can't view it in IE either :wacko:

[RealitY]

Try to install GreatNews (http://www.curiostudio.com/) and read the feeds with that.
If your logged into the site it should be fine...

[smiggy]

Nope. Logged in with IE, GreatNews reports zero size.
