I run klipfolio on teh forum links and just clicked this one which grabbed my interest...

now of course you may notice it is not a valid link!

Why? Well I think it was merged into this thread

Now in this case I guess I found answer, but it will not necessarily be so for other times or other people - so although I can see it is not really a problem technical wise - I wondered if the kipfolio feed could get updated on a merge? I relaise this may also be asking too much - if it has to be done manually it is tricky I guess since many mods can merge, no?

Anyway - thought it worthy of a mention - tell me if I was wrong and what can be done - 'k? :cool:
 
Weird, the only thing I can think of is that the threads was merged between you refreshing the link and clicking it.

Exactly it. I would imagine that the RSS feed for the forums simply grabs the latest 10(?) entries from the database, which are, of course, automagically updated when a thread is merged/moved/split/deleted and so forth.

So other than setting the Klip/Feed to refresh every 10-seconds (Please don't, we like our server :p) there's no real way of fixing this problem.
 
OK thanks for explanation - cannot help feeling with the right level of software design there SHOULD be a way to resolve this between RSS and forum - there would need to be some kind of buffering delay between threads and updating to RSS feeder, so that merges could "catch up" and also a "validation" bit before RSS links were fed out.... anyways that is not there and I was not asking for it, because I had not realised what was going on.... (I think I am thinking clearly!) .... but I have not gone for 10 second refresh and so far as I am concerned this is a fixed problem (thanks to explanation).

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
