I joined the feeds today using newly installed Vista Home Premium. When I hover the mouse over the DaniWeb feeds link in IE7 it says it was last updated 4 hours ago with 0 new feeds. When I visit c/c++ board I see several new posts during the last 4 to 8 hours.
How do those feeds get updated? They don't seem to be very current.
Jump to PostI think the feeds only show the latest threads, not the lastest threads that have been posted in.
I just checked with Firefox's RSS reader, and everything works as expected. If there's a problem, it must be on your end...

Being new to RSS Feeds I don't know what that means.
If you click the RSS Feeds it says Yesterday, February 18, 2007, 6:11:26 PM which was 13 hours ago.
I'll put it into programming terms for ya, Ancient :) RSS feeds are always a FIFO list of items with new items being pushed onto the top and old items being popped from the bottom.
However, if you browse the C++ forum, for example, the listing of threads in there (based on the last time a post was made into the thread) would sort threads in random order. Something in position #5 could suddenly jump to position #1 when replied to, for example. Therefore, RSS feeds are always based on new items, not updated items, and are a list of new threads created.
