Thanked: 328I don't have any explicetly enabled, so whatever's running must be a default for VB.. And not showing as updating (Nothing in the cron on the server, and nothing in the cron directory for VB).
I will however turn on some today and have them updated more frequently.. Thanks for bringing my attention to this.. I'll post back in a bit with URL's.

David,
I'd love to have this feature enabled as well. I use my BlackBerry during the day more than I'm online, so up-to-date RSS feeds would help me keep up with the forums I'm helping to moderate. How frequently can these things be updated without causing problems?

I'm a big Google Reader user for RSS feeds - the weekend meetup put me behind by over a 1000 posts in feeds to which I subscribe. When I realized that the SRP feeds didn't update except every 24 hours (or maybe 12 hours), I stopped subscribing to them.
Having them enabled for more frequent updates can become bandwidth intensive. You might want to see if there is some way to shunt the feeds over to feedburner or something similar to let them take the bandwidth hit.

Thanked: 328RSS feeds seem to be updating fine, except for with Google. Google seems to be on a massive delay.. I'm going bug stomping, i guess.

Thanked: 11I guess it depends on your definition of "fine" I've tried Safari, Firefox and RSS Menu and the last update I'm seeing on the BST feed (the only one I've got subscribed at the moment as for me they are kinda useless at the moment) is at 9:03 PM (GMT +1) it is currently 10:23 PM - the "Puma Stainless" advert. Or is it that I've got too high expectations - How often should they be updating ?

Thanked: 328Very strange. I hooked up feedreader, and it updated every 30 minutes. Where Google seems to update every 12 hrs.. Still searching for that magic block of code.
