I come to the forums because i like reading the issues and more so the solutions. A news feed doesn't make or break my subscription to here. It's just a little noise to me.

Just my $0.02, there's probably some folks who use this site as their aggregator of news instead of having their own bloglines / greader account. They're gonna be annoyed if you do away with them :-)

FYI: All RSS aggregated news from FeedBot has been limited to this forum only:

http://www.unix.com/aggregated-news/

These posts do not show up in the new threads list.

OK, here is the scoop.

Some RSS feeds do not support the full content. If they do, there will this field (in the feed):

content:encoded

The current Google feed that FeedBot is using does not support content:encoded, so we will need to find replacements.

I've been experimenting, so we will improve this RSS content over time.

Hi Guys,

For a while now (couple of months) the type=rss2 trick hasn't been working for me.

Can you turn back on the full listing of the first post in the thread please.

Cheers,

What RSS link are you using?

This link works for me, with full text:

http://www.unix.com/external.php?type=RSS2

Yeah that's the one i was using. I just removed from google reader and re-added, and now it's working :-) woohoo!

Thanks Neo,
