Good, Bad, or Ugly?

Ever since I installed it, it has been nothing but problems. I have over 6 feeds going and have not received a feed since the 8th and the 9th was the last error message I received. I have confirmed with my host that they are enabled yet they still do not work. I also confirmed the URLs to the feed are correct.

Here are a sample of the errors:

I am considering going another route. If there are alternatives to this plugin, I would appreciate suggestions.

Thanks

I did state in my OP that I confirmed with my host that it is enabled - that is what I was referring to.

What else could it be?

Techno,

Do you run feeds on your site using this plugin?

How reliable is it? Any problems with it?

Thanks

I haven't used it since I've seen so many problems with it, but it looks like I'm not going to be

Really?, so is there an alternative?

i havent used it, but thanks for heads up on it

i use it and it works perfectly

see my ebooks section in

Same problem to me for one RSS feed.
Still try to figure how to fix it.
Also, with some RSS, post only the beginning of article, without link.
But, generally speaking, a very useful tool.

I've found that it only works with some feeds. For instance, it works great using a craigslist feed, not alt all using a google news feed, and partially using a yahoo news feed. For some reason the yahoo news feed always makes a bunch of duplicate posts.

i am planning to install mybb for my site but rss feed is really important to me...

i want people to get rss feed from my site via their web browsers like opera.

opera does this perfectly..how can i add rss plug-in to my site and others can get this link and add to opera rss feeds section...

very urgent
thank you
