I've got akregator set so that it downloads the website of the each and every rss feed. When it comes across any BBC Olympia website the system starts crawling for some twenty to thirty seconds before I move to the next feed and things start working again. Oh, and the website itself is not displayed.

Can somebody confirm so I can register a bug?

Code: Select all
toad@deskarch 909\78 /downloads > akregator --version
Qt: 4.6.2
KDE Development Platform: 4.4.00 (KDE 4.4.0)
Akregator: 1.6.0

Does the site work in Konqueror?

Good thinking. No, it doesn't. Once again a sort of lock down and incomplete rendering of website: Image

Am I the only one then suffering from this?

I must admit I still have my .kd4 from KDE4.0 :)

Whilst on my system it didn't lock up ( which considering it uses Flash is good, since that normally locks up any Qt based browser incl. Arora, reKonq, etc. ) the presentation of the site was a total mess.

Thanks very much for testing. So there is no point filing a bug report I take it as it appears to be a well known problem.

The nasty appearance of the website prior to it freezing however is a valid bug report.

I have many problems with Konqueror displaying certain pages on the BBC website...

Should this be in a separate thread?

Not sure anybody here can do anything about it. I'd bug the devs if I were you. Link to my bug is supplied in previous post. The more the merrier. AND we should also let Aunty know that they are actively preventing part of the community from benefiting from their services (not that they give a monkey's)...
