I successfully implemented CRON jobs for all the Newsfeeds forums.  I currently have it set to automatically pull newsfeeds for all of our newsfeeds forums every four hours starting at 3 AM.  So as of now, the Newsfeeds forums will be updated 6 times per day, every 4 hours:  3 AM, 7 AM, 11 AM, 3 PM, 7 PM, & 11 PM EST...

I can change the automatic CRON updates to hourly or any other periodic value if requested...

Great.  The newest of the new.  We should never be lacking for something to read.  Now if you could create some extra time that would be nice.  LOL

Thanks, Nightrider.

With the CRON jobs running, anyone who reads the Newsfeeds forums won't have to wait for me to run the process whenever I had the chance.  The process should now be more dependable than the morning newspaper and no matter when we look, the news in our forums should be up-to-date within 4 hours or less...

As I've mentioned before, if anyone knows of any other newsfeeds that they would like to see pulled into our community, please don't hesitate to let me know and I will do what I can to achieve that goal...

To join any open group in our community, simply go to the Usergroups link in the menu above or in the Navigation bar on the left.  Currently we have 12 Newsfeeds forums and one spoof and discussion group for and about SE.  If you want access to all 12 Newsfeed forums, simply join the Newsfeeds... Group.  If you only want access to some of the individual newsfeeds, you can join each one separately...

If you need additional help in joining these groups, don't hesitate to ask and I will be more than happy to assist you...

I just wonder what advantages I have as a subscriber to a newsgroup. How do I get the news? The problem I have is that the forum is rather slow, as I have said before, and thus I want to avoid to go into different forums since I am a little impatient... It takes about 3 seconds before the pages start to load after hitting the link or the forum name!

Anyway, do I get the news in my email? In the PMs (Not PMS!)? I seem to be able to access them all with no problem as it is now...

Spider, I just checked and it doesn't appear that you are a member of any of our available groups.  If you join a group, that gives you access to the related forum(s).  The Newsfeeds group gives you access to ALL of the Newsfeeds forums (12 forums so far).  If you only want to see a few of the Newsfeeds forums, you can join each individual group and only those will appear on our Main Index page...

If you join the Newsfeeds group, you will see all the newsfeeds forums that are updated every 4 hours.  You should be able to receive up to date coverage of sports, International & National news, Arts, Jokes, Odd stories, etc.  Our Newsfeed sources include BBC, NYT, Reuters, USA Today, Yahoo, Boston.com, Gigglestop, Joke Crazy, etc...

If you know of any news sources that you would like to see fed into our community, I would be happy to include them too.  Just let me know what you want and if they offer XML or RSS newsfeeds, I will include them here...

I can't do much about the delay that you see.  For me, a 3 second wait for a page would be awesome.  My pages usually take 11 seconds or more to load.  Since I use Opera, I open multiple pages at once so I can be reading one page while the others are loading.  When I am done with the page, the next few pages are always loaded, so I rarely have to wait for anything to load.  So even with an 11 second or more page load time, I don't really notice...

Thanks NR! I realize that you can't do much about the delay and that is OK. Just one clarification; It's not the loading of the page that takes "time" but for the page to start to load! Once it has started, it loads fast. And that delay is only happening here. But your advice is good! I use opera too.

The instant you press the Submitt button, the code transmits a request to run queries on the Hosts server.  The page can't even begin to load until the Server responds back with the results of the queries.  So if the host has a slow Server, it can slow down the time it takes before the page can even begin to display anything new.  That's what I am guessing is happening...

If you look at the bottom of each page, you can see the percentage of time spent on SQL and PHP.  It would be interesting to hear what numbers you are seeing for each.  It looks something like this:

Page generation time: 12.8635s (PHP: 57% - SQL: 43%) - SQL queries: 59 - GZIP enabled - Debug on

So did you join any of the Newsfeed groups???
