Hey all,
I've had the RSS feed for the latest Announcement thread turn up 8 times in the last day. Haven't figured out a pattern to them but I've got the dates and times if that's helpful.
btw, the title link in the feed goes to http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/F77636?thread=7070303&latest=1#p88360449 (which is the latest post not the first one)
I'm using the built-in reader in Safari 4.0.3

I think the feed is updated every time the thread is posted in. This isn't usually a problem for Announcements threads, as they usually have only one post, but this one's been left open.
Try subscribing to the Askh2g2 forum and you'll see.

Ok, so not a bug then. It's a bit strange though. It's not updating everytime someone posts, so I'm not sure what the pattern is. Usually with something like a blog I would RSS sub to the post and comments separately.

And, it would make more sense if the updating feed showed me the latest posts instead of the original post. Except on a fast thread that would be really annoying and would fill up the reader overnight.
