help!

posted by catherine / May 10, 2005 /

i'm having an annoying problem with thunderbird, if anyone can help. i've been using it for months now and i love it (and the email part still works fine), but the past few days upon start up, when i check all my RSS feeds, it downloads EVERY SINGLE BLOG POST OF EVERY SINGLE BLOG that has been published in, like, the last two months. instead of just the posts that are new since the last time i checked. for example, susan, who posts just a couple of times a week normally, has 20 NEW POSTS that date back to mid-april, none of which are new since the last time i started up thunderbird. needless to say, this is a huge pain in the ass, as i have to go through and delete/check as read all of my feeds, which number in the, um, 90s (i read a lot of blogs). i'm assuming this must be a problem in my server settings and/or the way thunderbird is checking the feeds, but unless it somehow got screwed up while i was in italy, i don't know why. can anybody help?! i'll send you some chocolate. if i can't figure this out, i will have to revert to using bloglines and checking webmail, which is not an appealing option.

I'm sorry I don't have a solution for you. But I can commiserate. I use Thunderbird on both my work computer and my laptop, it worked fine on my laptop for about a week then went all crazy and did the same thing yours is doing now. The thunderbird on my work computer still works fine. I have no idea what's up with it. I've resorted to only checking blogs at work.
