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

The description should have been Slovak's reply.

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:

Has anyone been able to confirm this as a bug? 

And if so, is there a workaround?

Thanks!

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>

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!

I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place for this post.

In extern.php, the email address "dummy@example.com" is used (line 131).

As a result, that email address appears multiple times in my forum's RSS feeds associated with some (but not all) posters. You can see it in punbb's own feed here.

I would suggest a more appropriate name be used for this email address. Perhaps, "undefined@" or "null@" or something without a negative connotation (see first definition).

In many communities, it is more common for "dummy == dumb" rather than "dummy == substitute".
