Pinging RSS servers now works. I had one other thought about why everything jammed up. Back when I mentioned we had allowed 200 entries, times 12 ping servers, for 2400 entries, I didn't factor in that's only per magazine -- and we have five magazines. So I'd just queued up 12,000 individual pings, which isn't good for anyone. We're now caught up on a much smaller number of pings and should be running smooth from here on in -- at least for this feature. G'night all! -- David
