Everything seems to be working for me now but it was working for me after logging into and out of google.

Logging in and out of google and then re-trying Feedly seemed to resolve it.

It's the feedly spinner.

Al Billings replied on February 22, 2009 23:04 to the problem "feedly freezing and unresponsive links" in Feedly:

I'm just not seeing updates of my feeds. They are organized in categories in the sidebar. If I click on the category, it shows me a list of the feeds in the category and tries to update the contents of each feed (showing a spinner) and they just never appear.

This problem only started today. It worked fine all week.

In the error console, I'm seeing:

[feedly][io] time-out POST http://s4.feedly.com/suggestions.v1/f...

Error: j.part is null
Source File: chrome://feedly/content/app/js/10101_feedly_2383.js
Line: 564

Over and over again. I'm having the same problem. If I try loading some of my feeds, I get the spinner indicating that Feedly is busy but nothing shows up.

I've removed IntenseDebate from my blog (and blog posted about doing so).

Too much of an alpha product and it isn't ready for prime time.

Al Billings replied on February 05, 2009 03:04 to the problem "Spam no longer blocked by IntenseDebate" in IntenseDebate:

It is on http://www.arcanology.com. They are different ip addresses. It is standard BS spam that Akismet and your filters should be blocking.

The only reason my blog isn't overwhelmed is that I moderated unapproved commenters.

It's all over my site, just like normal spam.

Spam no longer blocked by IntenseDebate

Spam filtering seems broken in last 24 hours. I'm getting spam comment after spam comment. If this continues for another day, I'll be turning off IntenseDebate. Akismet should be catching all of these (many have multiple links, etc) but they are all getting into my moderation queue now.

I'm getting massive spam in the last 24 hours. I just marked 72 from the last hour or two. What the hell is going on with the spam blocking?

Al Billings replied on January 29, 2009 19:25 to the question "If a wordpress tag matches a word in the title of a post, IntenseDebate munges the url to the post" in IntenseDebate:

I'm having it on about nine posts (all tagged so they are at http://www.arcanology.com/tag/e-sangha/).

Fortunately, I haven't been using tags much.

Al Billings asked a question in IntenseDebate on January 27, 2009 22:02:

If a wordpress tag matches a word in the title of a post, IntenseDebate munges the url to the post

I've noticed a bug today. I recently tagged a series of posts on my blog with the tag "e-sangha" to link them so people could find the posts. I've found that when people are leaving comments on the posts now, intensedebate is including the span tag for the bolding of the tag, when it matches the title in the post, in the comment url.

This makes a url that looks like http://www.arcanology.com/2008/08/07/...=%22color:%20black;%20background-color:%20rgb(153,%20255,%20153);%22%3Ee-sangha%3C/b%3E/ and this url gives a 404 error.

Some of these comments are not appearing in posts on my blog, probably because of this error.

So, it looks like when a tag in a post matches a word in the title of the post, intensedebate munges the url and references to the post.

Yes, I figured it might be something like that. Since quite a few people have RSS feeds off of various tags or of their friends on Flickr, this seems like a problem that might come up. It is hard to know how common it is though.

Thanks for the response.

Flickr Feeds a bit slow

I notice that when Feedly is pulling RSS feeds from Flickr with lots of photos (like http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/bur...), that it can take a LOOOONG time to get all of the images for the short preview view.
