The reason for this is that the source feeds you're using are broken and aren't supplying a URL for each item anymore. This is why in the digest code you're seeing links like title here.. because there's no URL for each item's destination. For example, looking at http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/RSS/WestPalBirds .. there's no URL for each item (well, there is, but it's in a isPermaLink="false" GUID, so that won't work.

I need to have some URLs to the digests involved to be able to look at the problem :) Or to the page with the digests on.

I have a few different feeds working fine. However, there are 2 feeds that used to work fine with FD and no longer. These 2 feeds update OK but when you click on the link, it goes nowhere, just refreshes the current page you're on. I have gone in and deleted the feeds and created new again and still no luck.

When I go to my control panel and click "html" output of my other feeds that do work fine, the links of those titles look like this:

http://app.feeddigest.com/mydirectory/etc

on the 2 feeds that do not work, when I look at html output, I get:

http://app.feeddigest.com/digest3/FDcode.js

where my directory usually appears in the link, I have "digest3" instead.

Thanks for any advice.
