rss feed of this forum (not the nightly builds)

[tiwag]

sorry for bothering again ...

is it by design or a bug of my rss reader (sage on firefox btw ;-) ) or something stupid i've done elsewhere in my config
that i receive only the last 5 unread messages even if there are existing a lot more unread posts since my last check ?

@rss feed admin   ( most probably Don Corleone himself )

can you please feed more than the last five postings

Raised to 20 posts. Is this OK?

thx for your action,

but seriously, when i look at the board statistics of 01/2006,
then we have about 1350 / 27 =~ 130 post per day

a value of about 100 would be better,

if i want not to overlook any posts by using the rss-feed,
this would allow to make a "pause" of approx. 1/2 day ;-)

to SMF devs:
the above is a test-string which demonstrates the generation of a bogus rss-feed item,
because the <description> data is brutely cutted at 255 chars output
if the around the 255th char a CDATA string is sent, all goes well,
but if any of the special chars tags are sent, the generated xml has a syntax error.

from the generated xml file
