This is a feed from a homebuilt aircraft message board I like, and I can't seem to configure Sunrise to grab the actual posts from the feed. I've tried setting the link depth to as many as 3 or even 4, removing the domain restriction I've actually worked through several permutations of link depths and such and can't get a good result.

Anyone have any thoughts?

It's due to a bug with parsing ampersands in URLs. Will look into this.

To work around this, either disable "Include URL info" or enable "Don't display unresolved links". (Both settings can be found on the "Advanced" tab of the document properties.)

Bizarre, but that should make it work.

Hmm, no luck. I get the index, and when I tap on a header I get a blurb with the first 40 words or so, but when I tap the header again to try to pull up the entirety of the text, I just get to a page that only includes the formatting links around the text: "* Today's Posts | Donate" etc.

I honestly think this is something I'm doing wrong, and not necessarily a Sunrise problem, but all my other feeds are working fine. ???

Hm... strange. I do get the main text. You'll have to scroll down 5 or 6 times to get to it, though.

Interesting - at least now I know for sure it's something I'm doing on my end. Thanks very much for looking into it!
