I get all of my updates through the RSS Feeds. I've been noticing that they do not seem to update very often. The previous Forum software seemed to have live RSS feeds. Now it seems that they are regulated somehow.
I came in this morning not checking the site since around 3pm on 4/29 now at 8am 4/30 none of my feeds show any of the new threads. It almost make the RSS feeds useless because 75% of the time I have to go to the forums anyway to read new threads.

Sorry, as of right now I don't have access to that area. I'll keep looking into it tho.
But I did find some info for another admin trying to automatically update his rss feeds.

Steve please tell me there's a way to work around the "no activity no task run".
When you're trying to get content in and no one's in the forum it seems silly to me to have the RSS feed go to sleep. I really need to have the RSS feed to automatically get the feeds and post them regardless of whether some one is in the forum. My site is floundering and I really need to automate some functions.

There is no workaround. That is the only way that vB can trigger scheduled tasks.

If I understand correctly he is saying that the RSS feeds do not update unless there is new activity, which, is how it has previously worked and how I expect it to work. The problem is that the threads have activity and there are several new threads but, the RSS Feeds are not show the new threads and are not showing any updates. : /
I think they're broke.
Thanks for the help.

Lil FYI, xFreebirdx. It's been 2 days with no updates to my feeds. I am subscribed to the Honda, yamaha, other atv topics, sport quads, as well as the all encompassing feed. I have deleted them and re-subscribed to no avail.
Their definitely broke.
