Irish Times Recipe problem

[mbro]

Hi There,

I have been having problems with the Irish Times recipe for the past few days. The frontpage section works fine but the other regular sections only display a link which says "click here to continue to article". This has happened before in the past but was fixed after a day or so. I am downloading it to a kindle but a colleague of mine has the same issue with a sony device.
Thanks for your time!

It isn't just you, I have been seeing the same thing. Have seen it before for a section or two but this seems more extensive and as you said and hasn't gone away again (yet).

I am reading the Irish Independent for the time being but it just isn't the same.

I had a better look and it seems that many of the feeds are now redirects to rss.feedportals.com. Whether they are permanent or not I have no idea, anyhow, I have updated the urls in my recipe and it is working for now.

Try this:

Thanks piznlil. It downloaded fine anyhow today but i only saw your post now. I will change the recipe now anyhow and see how it goes for the week. It's amazing how much you get used to the convenience of having the irish times on the kindle every morning!
