Annoying CommunityServer RSS Bug - Double Feeds

Apologies to subscribers who occasionally get a double shot of my feed.  It's a ridiculous CS 1.0 bug that's another of those issues that was never a problem in dotText.  For some reason my dbvt.com feed spits out recent posts from www.dbvt.com.

I hardcoded a complete RSS subscription link for the hyperlink in csblogs.controls.subscriptions.cs, but I don't think that will fix the problem. 

ssLink.NavigateUrl = BlogUrls.Instance().Rss(this.CurrentWeblog.ApplicationKey);

changed to

ssLink.NavigateUrl = "http://" + ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["CSServerHost"].ToString() + BlogUrls.Instance().Rss(this.CurrentWeblog.ApplicationKey);

I didn't find anything in CS Forums, but then again Forums searching isn't as robust as it can be.  And why have the communityserver.org NNTP Forums feeds stopped working??? 

Anyway.  Sorry for putting two spoons in your reader's mouth from time-to-time.  Will continue to monitor.

This dual post thing has been killing me.  I try to subscribe to alot of syndicated feeds, and sometimes I'll have 200 messages, 75-100 of which are dupes.  I'm surprised there hasn't been more of an uproar about this bug.  I end up ignoring most of the posts from syndicated blogs now, which is really a shame.  Glad to see someone taking inititive to fix it! As always, thanks for your great work Dave!

Can I ask what aggregator you are using? CS 1.0 shipped allow both www. and non-www, since the Guid element in the RSS feed is no long a link, it really should not be an issue.

However, to make things nice for google, CS 1.1 has a configuration option that allows you to specifcy www, no www, or you just don't care. Smile
