After reading up on the RSS issues here I finally figured out why the feed was not updating itself. Here's what I did.
Created 2 feeds from 2 different locations. Both feed url's end in .xml.
Left the time at the default of 30 minutes.
Set the poster and set the forum to have them posted to.
Enabled the poster bot. >>> Now here's where I found the problem.
I found that the timer for the bot was in conflict with the rss manager. The poster bot is set to go out and retrive feeds every 10 minutes.
I set the first minutes setting to 30 minutes and set the rest to blank. Then saved the settings.
Since then it has been running out every 30 minutes like clockwork snagging feeds and posting them. And there doesn't have to be any activity or looking at the posts. It's working all by itself.
Just thought I'd pop in and share that.
