Hi, the RSS feed for my website does not update for some reason in AideRss (it shows REALLY old items, nothing recent)

The Feedburner Feed address: http://feeds2.feedburner.com/grassroo...

Can you please look into this? Thanks!

Hey Mike...just realized my site's Comment RSS is not working either.

Its: http://intensedebate.com/allBlogComme...

Was there a recent change in the Comment RSS structure?

I highly recommend under the Settings's 'Comment Posting' section a box where we can REQUIRE an email.

This would certainly help cut back on 'drive-by-commeters'...

That would be awesome. They were rolling out new plugins like every 3 weeks for a while there. *Cough* Facebook Connect *Cough*... – GrassrootsPA, on March 12, 2009 02:33

I agree 100%. Hey, it's one thing if ID comments don't load during maintenance. It's another thing if it completely takes down our sites. That's crossing the line. – GrassrootsPA, on March 12, 2009 02:18

PHEW, at least I know this is the problem.

Spent forever thinking it was an Apache or Server issue

Create 'Topic Forum' or 'Active Discussions' plugin to show Last X Discussions (show only last comment per topic)

Your 'Popular blog posts widget' and 'Latest comments widget' are both very cool... how about a cool new hybrid...a 'Topic Forum' or 'Active Discussions' plugin?

I really enjoy a Wordpress plugin called "BT Active Discussions" (http://www.blogthority.com/bt-active-...) which lists the last X Discussions, along with the most recent comment in that particular discussion.

Here is an example of how I'm using this plugin on my site:

I love how it looks except it obviously is not fitted to work with Intense Debate!

How about creating an alternative plugin to 'Popular blog posts widget' or 'Latest comments widget' called maybe Active Discussions or Topic Forum?

This would basically be the same look and feel as the 'Latest comments widget' except you would only list 1 recent comment per story.

Think about it. Every single Intense Debate user in the world would be able to make a Page folks could visit showing the last 50 or so Discussions, sorted by Topic.

Currently the 'Popular blog posts widget' only lists the topic name and the 'Latest comments widget' lists more than one comment per story, so it cannot be used for this purpose.

I bet this would be pretty easy to roll out if you simply edited the 'Latest comments widget' coding!

Regular Commenters Keep Getting Comments Stuck In Moderation

Hey guys,

Having a comment moderation problem. I have no boxes checked under "Comment Posting" options...only holding comments with 2 or more links (every comment should immediately go up).

In the past few days I have been getting emails from regular commenters (who might write like 20 or 30 comments each a day) complaining that 2 or so of their comments got held in moderation. (Going back, this issue is not new, but is happening way more often)

Checked their comments and they aren't extremely long, and contain either no links, or at the most 1 link. No clue how

Not sure if this helps but on March 7th 'bobguzzardi' and 'Dolley_Madison' each had 2 held...

Here are 2 of them: (http://grassrootspa.com/?p=24026#IDCo...) (http://grassrootspa.com/?p=24026#IDCo...)

Want to stress this has been an ongoing problem (finding comments caught in moderation when every comment should go right up)
