Slickdeals Frontpage RSS not working w/iCloud Feed

Good morning! Since upgrading my macOS client to 7.0.4 and cleaning up my iCloud read count I am unable to refresh the Slickdeals Frontage RSS feed at this URL:

RSS Validator sees it ok and the content is refreshing:

If I delete the feed, run another iCloud cleanup, and add it back it will populate the feed up to current, but no future articles will be added. Let me know what else I can provide to pin this down.

This is the exact feed I’m having problems with in New items in one feed are marked as read immediately

Yep now that I took a closer look the new feed items are coming and being marked read automatically, so this is the exact same issue. :slight_smile:

This is due to a bug in the feed. The dates are incorrect — they should specify four digits instead of two.

NetNewsWire marks incoming articles as read automatically if older than six months. Since these have dates in the year 26 instead of 2026, they’re older than six months. :slight_smile:

Example: <pubDate>Sun, 12 Apr 26 17:24:19 +0000</pubDate>

To be the expected date, it should be <pubDate>Sun, 12 Apr 2026 17:24:19 +0000</pubDate>

I’ve added a ticket for dealing with two-digit dates. https://github.com/Ranchero-Software/NetNewsWire/issues/5244
