I use RSS feeds to keep up to date on the Smugmug Support forum. I noticed that my feed in Netnewswire had not updated for a few days. I manually refreshed but no success. I deleted the feed and recreated it but Netnewswire give this error "Can’t subscribe to feed because: could not find a feed.".

The URL I have been using is



Has something changed or is something broken?

I tried some other forum IDs eg 35, 31, 25 all without success.

    We have recently discontinued full RSS feeds due to an unfortunate string of Dgrin content theft. See thread here for the reason. It seems that full RSS delivery also meant a continuous stream of images and text directly to content thieves that could place Google ads among our stolen posts to sham Google out of ad revenue; and Google seems to be OK with that. Closing the door on RSS seems to have worked. We're very sorry to make a decision that affected legitimate users that depended on easy Dgrin deliveries.
