	Re: RSS 2 Feed not refreshing correctly by R Pruitt :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message It seems to be a caching issue. If you go to "Clear Private Data" (or equivalent auf Deutsch) and clear the cache it should work fine. I haven't spent the time to see if it is a feed problem or a Firefox problem (NewsFox is asking for the new data, but is not getting it). The feed does have a tag <ttl>60</ttl> which indicates the feed can be cached without rechecking for 60 minutes, even though they put out articles much more frequently than this. So my guess would be that Firefox is just following the feed recommendation.

Change your feed URL to http://www.zroadster.com/forum/external.php?type=RSS2&%CURRENT_DATETIME% This works. Technical note: NewsFox changes '%CURRENT_DATETIME%' to a string of the current date and time. This makes the URL unique each time, so Firefox fetches it new. The server doesn't understand the '&%CURRENT_DATETIME%' part of the URL and just ignores it.
