This is a very interesting problem to me and I'd desperately like to look at it, but I really do not have time right now. Maybe in a few weeks I will, we'll just have to see. > The first time it runs, it sequentially inserts each members' posts. > Subsequent times, it does incremental updates.

When it first went in, the sorting was hosed and it would show the most recent posts from the last person it checked, regardless of whether or not there were newer posts from other people. > Ben, please take a look at the feeder script and see if you still think > it is busted.

Well, I can tell you just from looking at the site that *something* is broken :) The most recent post according to the site was November 8th. I know I've posted more recently than that, as has Robby and pretty sure you :) If it is running correctly and making some semblance of meaningful info show up on the page, then I'm all for it. If we need to run the script more often or something, that can easily be arranged. We just need to know what to do. Thanks for the reply, Caleb :) Ben _______________________________________________ PdxRuby-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxruby.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxruby-dev
