OK... I changed the setting so that the news feed will only pull in a max of 10 new messages every 12 hours. So that is going to only be 20 new messages per day. Will that work?

I think my programmer takes off during the weekends, so I probably won't hear back from him till Monday about my exclusion request.

Yeah, I know not everyone is going to like everything new here, but some likely will. Just as not everyone would like it if I just left the site alone and made NO changes whatsoever. Some wouldn't like that either. All I am doing is trying my best to make this site better for the majority. I have no doubts whatsoever that I can't please absolutely everyone.

The whole idea of this is to try to get new input to stimulate discussions on this site. Instead of me or someone else finding such news items and posting them here, I am using an automated news feed instead.

And in case anyone has forgotten, this site is not just about Corvettes, but is also about Florida. So yes, this is somewhat different from other sites in that it has a dual focus. That was my plan from the very beginning. That is why I chose the name CorvetteFlorida for this site.

Now if anyone has any ideas on how to more finely tune the keyword search (within technically realistic options) I am certainly willing to listen to those suggestions.

That's what I want to ask my programmer to do, but he is not available right now, apparently.

Thats exactly what I asked Rich yesterday and what he attempted to do. Unfortunately, it didn't work the way we thought it would.

A short list for the rest of the day isn't a big deal and the programmer should be able to fix this tomorrow or so

Hang in there, it's growing pains, but we'll all get through it with your patience and dedication

I don't go to the "new posts" section when I sign on. I just go to the forums and scan the posts, so it's not a problem. When I want to read the RSS stuff I go to that section. I looked at the "new posts" and I see what you mean. Takes some time to go through it all...
Anyway, I'm sure it will all work out as things always seem to do Go Rich!!

Florida specific news doesn't interest me, but Florida CORVETTE specific new/info DOES. Please find a way to put the "News" into it's own box so that it doesn't fill up the New Posts section. Darn bot already has over 1200 posts and a rep power of 11 and only started this month. So much for the rep points too.

Well actually I think that RSS Feeds guy is a pretty cool dude, if I must say so myself...... Doesn't surprise me in the least that he has gotten positive rep points so quickly...

What I have done is to set the RSS Feed forums up so that they require a password to view the threads within them. In this way, if you don't want to see them, you don't have to, and those threads will not show up in the New Posts page.

The password is simply enter.

This is the first time I have ever set up a password protected forum, so I don't know how persistent that entry is. In other words, if you enter once, I don't know if that entry permission is then stored with your login info in your cookie, and then you are ALWAYS able to enter that forum. Or perhaps it times out after you leave it, or you have to actually log OUT of the site to release that access.
