Hi Magma,

What is the default time for the RSS Threads to update? Is it every 24 hours or something?

RSS is a pull- not a push-service. Therefore, the update frequency is not related to mlf’s rss.inc.php.

I created a test thread and it's still not showing in any of my rss readers 35 minutes later? Anyway to update quicker?

What is the automatic refresh time of your reader? F.i. Thunderbird’s default are 100 minutes in order to preserve bandwidth. Did you try to “manually” check for new entries of the RSS-feed?

WP: “With RSS, the user's RSS reader polls the server periodically for new content; the server does not send information to the client unrequested. This continual polling is inefficient and has contributed to the shutdown or reduction of several popular RSS feeds that could not handle the bandwidth.”
