Description Neil Rickert 2012-12-12 15:38:30 UTC 
If I define "http://theskepticalzone.com/wp/?feed=comments-rss2" it initially loads recent articles.  But it never updates.  An attempt to force akregator to fetch that feed also fails to update.

The feed itself seems to be okay, as liferea does regularly update on it.

I am using 4.8.5.  However, I also tested this with 4.9.2, which seems to also have the same problem (testing is less extensive there).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add the indicated feed
2. Mark initially retrieved articles as read,
3. Come back after a while, to see if any new articles have been fetched
Actual Results:  
No new articles show up

Expected Results:  
There should be new articles.  There is a fairly busy discussion in comments at that site.

Confirmed.

I tried adding it yesterday and there were two new comments in the evening but nothing since then.
Comment 2 Neil Rickert 2013-02-23 18:05:40 UTC 
This problem seems to have gone away.  There was probably a change at the site, so that now akregator is picking up new posts.

The bug should probably be closed, even if only because it is no longer repeatable.  But I'll leave the final decision on closing to others.

let's resolve for now.
we can always reopen if the problem happens again.
