Hi,

I recently changed distros (from kubuntu 8.10 to Arch) and, as always, migrated my pim stuff as well.

I use Akregator for this forum among others but since migration it refuses to load the website as a preview. I generated another RSS feed from this forum and tried it as well, but no joy. I always get

KDE forums - All Forums (no unread articles)
Description: KDE forums - http://forum.kde.org

Homepage:


I am also experiencing problems for other feeds (kubuntu forum, kde-apps) while the BBC is working fine and dandy. Settings are the same for all of them.

I am flabberghasted - does anybody have a clue as to what might be going on here?

Thread Moved.

What is the feed URL that you are entering?
I used http://forum.kde.org/syndication.php - and it worked perfectly for me.

Thanks LiI!

This is mine: http://forum.kde.org/syndication.php?limit=50

I tried yours and it didn't want to even fetch the feed. I reckon ~/.kde/share/apps/akregator/data/feeds.opml is at fault and I will tinker as soon as I have the time. For the time being it just means that I continue to lie low...
