RSS Idosyncracies

I'm back to reading these fine forums via RSS. One thing I've noticed that isn't consisent with other forums is that in Acrobat Windows, RSS only shows the first post. It doesn't show other posts in the thread like Photoshop Windows. Is this by design or is it a bug ?


In my mind this should be consistent throughout all the Forums. An official response would be appreciated.

    Can you also post the URL of the feed in question? You may be subscribing to the thread feed instead of to the message feed. The thread feed gives you only the first message (the original post), whereas the message feed gives you all messages across all threads.

    When viewing a forum, In the sidebar under "Notifications" - click on "View feeds"

    You'll see there are two different feeds for threads vs messages:

    Discussion messages - http://forums.adobe.com/community/feeds/messages?community=3404

    Discussion threads - http://forums.adobe.com/community/feeds/threads?community=3404

    Yup ;you're right and I should have figured this out myself. Sorry for the noise.

    Can you embed screen shots of your RSS reader showing the differences so I can send them along to the support folks?

    Thanks!

    Most likely a "Jive-Talkin' " bug. Or they figure the windows folks can only stand to read just the first post.
