I have a strange problem with forums. I've looked around but couldn't find a solution.

I'm using rss feeds from my forums to display top 5 posts of a subforum on the homepage. Visitors can click on the post link and view the forums post; however, that works sometimes.

Every 30 mins or so, it stops working. The link would simply redirect the user back to homepage instead of taking them to the forums post.

I've found a temporary fix. If I go back to forums administration and toggle the enable rss feeds checkbox, it starts working again. I've also noticed that enable rss checkbox simply adds an xml button at end of forums since my links work regardless if it's checked or not.

My problem at the moment is I have to keep checking/unchecking it every hour or so. Any Suggestions?

You can check the behavior at http://www.mandeeps.com

Which RSS option are you talking about? There is the one from the module actions menu and the one from the lower left hand corner of thread view.

Hi,  i got the same problem, you probably using authentication to access your forum. The RSS feed dont seem to log to work with a authentication. The reason it stop working after 30 min is that the session on the server is close. To solve that problem i created my own page in ASP that feed imself on the database.
