What browser/OS are you using? Matt H,

Did it feel like the problem was caused by your browser or by a Newshutch hang, or both? What browser/OS are you using?

We had to temporarily disable certain features in order to cache more things. This will all be resolved when we get our new server. Thanks for all your feedback :) Aaron,

It would stick and cause my browser to freeze. Sounds like you are on it though? Aside from small annoyances of a new and in-development app, this is great, something I've been waiting for.

Both feeds remain a problem (2 items are always unread in the Trader Mike feed and one in the Design View feed). On a related note: When you add a new feed, it doesn't show up in the "Manage" tab unless you perform another action in that tab, which will then cause that data to refresh. The feed issues are a small annoyance. I'd just recommend filing them with your next batch of feature updates and bug fixes. I doubt anyone else who has the same issues will run for the door because of a couple stuck news items. Nathan:

I think what's happening is that one of the entries may have been malformed xml (that is no longer in the feed) and it couldn't be marked as read. This problem may go away when "mark everything as read" comes back. An interim solution may be to delete those feeds and then re-add them. I have a similar issue with a feed item. It has some funky embed which make the item unable to be marked read. Anyone else have "stuck" feeds or items? Aaron,

That should be resolved when our new server is up. Aaron, what feed is giving you trouble? I've seen malformed or incorrectly parsed feeds make entries prevent themselves from being marked read.

Trying to mark all read doesn't clear the unread item, so consequently, that feed is constantly showing up in the sidebar. I have tried logging out and back in to see if it was tied to my session or something funky like that, but that didn't resolve the problem.

E.g., it is now 10:50AM, GMT (i.e., 5:50 in New York); posts from Wired (5) and CNN (25) take ages (I haven't been able to read one...) to show...

Other sorts would be nice as well, but I know this site is new - it'll take time. Just wanted to raise the point. Other than that - I -love- this site!

Ah the joys of regression bugs :) In any case, enjoy! Hi All, the refresh bug that Aaron was talking about has been fixed in a small update last night. Ah the joys of regression bugs :)

I think I know what is happening...and if so that should be fixed very soon! Scott, you've got it right. When a feed has been updated it will appear at the bottom of the category it's in.

You all are doing an amazing job with Newshutch. As feeds are updated, they are supposed to populate on the bottom of the feed list on the left-hand side of the page? This, as opposed to the feed list remaining in alphabetical order even if a feed is updated? Just trying to wrap my head around how things work, so I know exactly what to expect?
