RSS Feed
I believe MobileRead only mentions the RSS feed for Mobile News but it is avaiable for the forums. My question is why don't you update the RSS feeds automatically whenever someone adds a message to the forum? It is great to have the RSS feed but disappointing not to see it updated in real time. This is an active site but not so active that updating the XML would be an issue. Thank you

Just wanted to *bump* this. I didn't realise until today that there were RSS feeds for the actual forums themselves as well as general news. I thought *awesome!* and immediately subscribed to a couple of feeds. But as Timezone pointed out above, the feed update seems quite laggy. Is there a technical restriction causing this? Just wondering, (please don't take it as a complaint).
Cheers... |

Indeed, RSS feeds were updated every 60 minutes until you pointed it out. Generally, we cache the results to conserve server resources. But with better and faster hardware, we can now comfortably reduce the cache lifespan to 30 minutes.
