Comment on Site slowness and other currently known issues

    Question: Is there a known issue with the RSS feed? For maybe a week now I've been getting notifications of stories I was already notified about.

    Suggestion: The amount of email subscriptions you send out could be reduced by adding a 'notify upon completion' subscription option for WIPs. If I could have I would have chosen that option for almost all of my WIP subscriptions. Less notification spam in my inbox, less emails you have to send out = win/win?

      I'd like that for RSS feeds, too.

      Agreed. A few of the stories I subscribe to I look for individual updates, but a lot of them I'm waiting to see when they finish.

      We recently modified our tag feeds to update more frequently (we previously restricted feed updates to every four hours), so this might explain some temporary oddities. If the problems persist, please contact Support so they can look into it.

      We know that "only notify me when the work is complete" is a popular feature request for subscriptions; however, the necessary code and interface changes have to wait until we've sorted out more pressing bugs and performance issues. It is on our list, though.

      Thank you for commenting!

      Best,
