View Full Version : Main RSS feed doesn't reflect "Latest Deals"

I use RSS feeds in Firefox to quickly skim through the latest deals in town at a glance. It's a great feature that I find very valuable.

One thing I'm noticing lately: the RSS feed is being spammed with one type of deal, usually from the same one retailer.
What I expect to see, are the latest deals in Toronto (or wherever your town is) from a wide variety of retailers: http://www.redflagdeals.com/in/toronto/deals/

Here's what I'm seeing:

As it is now, twelve out of fifteen entries in the latest refreshed RFD RSS feed are for the same type of goods, from the same retailer. This is of no value to me.

I have tried to delete and re-create the RSS entry in my bookmarks with no success. The link for the RSS feed is polluted with the same kind of stuff: http://www.redflagdeals.com/rss/deals.php?city=toronto

Can somebody clean this up to accurately reflect what the latest deals are? I think the RSS feed was working properly before the major forum upgrade.

Thanks.

Why is nothing being done about this?

Try this variation of the RSS feed URL:
http://www.redflagdeals.com/rss/deals.php?city=toronto&content_type=editorial

Is that the list of deals you want to see?

Just wanted to update. The link you are providing above works as intended. The link at the bottom of the RFD homepage (where I got the RSS feed initially), is still broken.
