Are the feeds for the Dev Digest/Community Digest not working anymore?

I used to be subscribed to them so I could see the new dev/community digest posts. Now it doesn't seem to update anymore - and I updated my add-on/plugin. After trying to run them with another program it seemed to just take me to the main CoH page, not even the forums at all. Am I just doing it wrong? It used to work just fine.

I believe he means RSS feeds. I remember reading another thread about it. But yeah, no update to my feed since the 2nd.

Yep, that's what I meant.

Those apparently got broken along with whatever broke the Hero Style for the forums.

At least, I saw it reported in the threads discussing the forums breaking and the subsequent reports that it was just those using the Hero Style (not to be confused with Zombie Man's Hero Skin).

Presumably they'll be fixed at the same time.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

They're only broken if you're using the Hero style. Switch to Villain, re-subscribe, and they'll be just fine. That's what I had to do.

Also, with the logout bug, I need to log back into the forums and refresh my live bookmarks (I'm on firefox) every time I open up my browser.

I use Firefox, but I've never needed to resubscribe to feeds. I just reload them.

It seems to me that the build-in RSS feed reader in Firefox is cookie aware. As mentioned by others, changing to the villain skin fixes the broken feeds for me. But there are other things I've noticed in the past - if I'm logged in, the Dev digest feed will show me dev posts in locked down forums (like Beta forums) that I have access to, but if I'm not logged in, it won't.
