RSS Feeds

I'm experiencing some difficulty with the RSS feeds from ASPFree. I use Feedreader which attempts to identify which RSS articles I've read. Since I get hundreds a day, this is a very important feature. While I'm not 100% certain how it determines whether I've read an article or not, one difference between your feeds and others that work correctly is your rss feed lacks a pubdate for the article. I've gotten 77 copies of the last 4 article from your site since 5pm last night when I added you. If there's anything you could do that would help, it would be appreciated.

We will look into this today and post here after we have done some research

Multiple downloads

I think I see why I'm getting multiple copies of each of the articles everyday. It's because the advertisement in the RSS feed changes and it's in the body of the RSS feed. So the content looks different every time the feed is checked. No idea what the solution is, but after sorting and scrolling through them, that's what seems to be happening. Every single copy of the same article has a different advertisement embedded in it.

Well we added some pretty detailed time and date stamps for all of our rss content so when a article or forum thread goes live it gets time and date stamped - most readers know to check that but the reader you are using doesnt. The only suggestion I have is try a different reader, we have not heard of this problem before and we are not experiencing it either.

We have added timestamp for each item in the feed indicating at what time it was published, looks like your RSS reader compare entire RSS feed contents. As you already notice contents body is updated timely manner with relevant ads related to IT. This affects your RSS reader. Try changing the settings in your RSS reader and see whether it resolve this issue.
