Hi,

Sorry if this has been covered before, I did a search and couldn't find anything. Why doesn't the RSS news feed found at http://www.pistonheads.com/xml/news091.asp match what's on the frontpage at any one time?

I rarely visit the front page but when I do there's always a load of articles I've missed from just reading the RSS! For example the current porsche story is missing (http://www.pistonheads.com/porsche/default.asp?storyId=16520) because it's categorised as porsche, not "news". Seems a bit silly to me as the RSS should show the global news.

The homepage delivers all news, the feed you're subscribed to is 'general news' which as you say won't include the Porsche/TVR/Aston/etc channels.

I think you might be able to do that by subscribing to the home page as that has an RSS feed built in.

Or directly via www.pistonheads.com/xml/news091.asp

Hi Ted,

Unfortunately the 091 feed is the 'news' news feed yet is linked to from the homepage, I can't seem to find an ALL news RSS feed.

The amount of stories in the other sections aren't high enough to warrant me subscribing to every RSS feed as I use firefoxes built in reader and it would get messy, but I'd certainly like to be able to see all the articles.
