I totally agree with you Joshrockman.. I almost hate the new owner because of his way of running the business.

I too have to agree. I cannot see that there is actually a human being who works on this stuff, or does anything to it at all, I don't think anyone cares one way or another.

I'm new here. I will have to give it a try and see if the issues have been resolved.

I also noticed the missing contact information, that is so unhelpful. However these forums have really given me some much needed help. Thanks!

I completely agree. I can't tell if there is actually anyone who works on this, or does anything with it, or really cares one way or another.

I does seem as if no one has reponsibiliyty here, let's see some improvement

rusgom: Almost certainly not, based on the code as it was when I last saw it.

Hey, Peter - As I said in my previous post, I can understand your point about the new owners dwelling on the big picture for now. As long as the feeds don't expire until we get a chance to resubscribe, that seems fine. My feeds are all working OK. But I have a follow-up question: If I try to add another feed to my account, will that muck things up - in other words: will the existing feeds stop working, will my account be terminated, or anything that could jeopardize the current OK situation?
Thanks again!

Why the hell doesn't the Contact Us page have any actual contact information??? I HATE companies that do this.

OK - thanks, Peter - that's righteous. I can understand that they may need time to figure out their direction. As long as we are not unceremoniously deactivated, I wish them the best with their new business plans.

I can't speak for the new owners, but as far as I'm led to believe, they are not sticking to the old way things were billed. As such, all existing members /should/ be able to use the system for free. However, I think they will be looking to implement a new account scheme in the future, which will be split into paid and free. In any case, I don't think any users are being deactivated whether their accounts "expire" or not.. that is, nothing is happening on expiration.

Peter - understand entirely your position, but could you provide some guidance on the basic question of service - namely, how do we continue using this service if our subscription is about to expire? Many of us have developed sites that depend on this service now. Basically, we want to renew but can't. Any suggestions at all - whether some way to contact the new owners directly or an alternate service?

Re: adding ".nyud.net:8090" to the domain name -- Woot! It works!! 88 miles per hour!!!

Thank you, Peter!

Adding ".nyud.net:8090" to the domain works a treat, e.g.

http://news.google.co.uk.nyud.net:8090/

As ever, Peter, you are a star!

I /believe/ some sections of Google and Yahoo's news sites have blocked Feed Digest from reading their feeds for some reason. One thing that appears to work as a workaround is to add .nyud.net:8090 to the hostname in each case, as it then passes the feed through a proxy which isn't blocked. Quite why Google would block something reading feeds that only reads one feed a maximum of twice an hour I don't know(!)

Peter always provided excellent personal service, which, apart from the quality of his product, ensured that not only would I use Feed Digest but regularly recommend it to my readership. I trust the new owners will continue that tradition, and I would like to thank Peter for his work and friendly support.

The problem that I have been encountering is that the new service sometimes does not accept some, but not all, RSS feeds from Google News and Yahoo! News. The fact that some feeds work and some don't indicates to me that perhaps there is a bug. Can Feed Informer please address this matter so that the content I place on my site will accept all of these news feeds, rather than about half of them? Thank you, and good luck Peter.
