Topic: RSS feeds (via extern.php) showing older content

When a new comment is made to a topic, the new comment should appear in the RSS feed.

In 1.3, the original topic message appears in the RSS feed's "description" rather than the new comment.

I believe this is incorrect.

You can see the issue in the PunBB forum's RSS feed here:
http://punbb.informer.com/forums/feed/rss/

Here's an example of the problem:

<item>
        <title><![CDATA[SEF URL redirect?]]></title>
        <link>http://punbb.informer.com/forums/topic/21681/sef-url-redirect/new/posts/</link>
        <description><![CDATA[<p>I recently enabled SEF URLs on all my PunBB forums but am having difficuly getting the search engines to index the new links. I have re-submitted sitemaps etc.</p><p>I think that the root of the problem lies in duplicate content. Is there some way to get:</p><p><a href="http://punbb.informer.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=21681">viewtopic.php?id=21681</a></p><p>to redirect to:</p><p><a href="http://punbb.informer.com/forums/topic/21681/sef-url-redirect/">topic/21681/sef-url-redirect/</a></p><p>instead of just displaying the same content?</p><p>Thanks <img src="http://punbb.informer.com/forums/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p>]]></description>

        <guid>http://punbb.informer.com/forums/topic/21681/sef-url-redirect/new/posts/</guid>
</item>

In the above example, the link goes to the topic's most recent comment (which is from "khonggiannet"), but the item's description is the original post content from "Grant".

Thanks!

joe

Has anyone been able to confirm this as a bug? 

And if so, is there a workaround?

Thanks!

Perhaps my replies aren't showing up in your RSS feeds ...

Hello! Could you please post here how the feed should look like, in your opinion?

I'll use your reply as an example.

When you replied to me, the following appeared up in the RSS feed.

It should have been this:

Note, the description that actually appeared is my original post. 

The description should have been Slovak's reply.
