Installing FeedDemon 2.7 (http://www.newsgator.com/Individuals/FeedDemon/Default.aspx) that just came out and then selecting 'Tools > Synchronization Options' > 'Advanced' > 'Resync Now' on each FeedDemon PC has fixed the problem by the looks of it.

I'm getting the same thing, I read all my feeds in FeedDemon on one PC (Vista), but not all the items are marked as read to NewsGator Online, so when I go to my other PC (XP) or Mac running NetNewsWire I have to mark them as read again.

If I read items in NewsGator Online or NetNewsWire all the items sync as they should, it just seems to be a problem with FeedDemon not syncing all read items to NewsGator.

Please add me to the list of the people with this problem! I have this problem on many feeds, one example is http://www.heise.de/newsticker/heise-atom.xml.

Following Szenario: Monday evening I close FeedDemon @home with some messages in this feed unread. Tuesday I open FeedDemon @work, everything seems fine with this feed. Monday evening I read all messages @work and close FeedDemon @work. After that I've checked Newsgator online, 0 messages unread for this feed.
Back @home I open FeedDemon, after syncing nearly all messages of this feed are presented as unread! Newsgator online shows them unread now, too.

Looks for me as if syncing is not working and every instance of FeedDemon keeps its own read/unread-markers.

Please help...

Thanks! :)

I likewise am experiencing this. It occurs on a number of feeds. I will read the feeds on my home computer, and then close it, it says it's syncing. But once I get to work, it populates the feeds and a lot of the ones I've already read appear as unread.

Hi,
I just had the problem again. A lot of items appeared at unread also I already read them over the day.

I'm curious if this problem is handled as a bug by Newsgator or is just ignored? For me this is a great annoyance and it seems that I'm not the only one with this problem.
Should I file an official support request? Currently I'm still a paying subscriber.

Regards,
Martin

It's not that the feeds aren't being updated. It's that when I mark items as read on one computer, some of then appear unread at my other computer after syncing. Only after I do a full 'resync' in FeedDemon are the states the same again. The feeds themselves update just fine.

Hi Keith,

I'm not sure what you mean by 'not updating at the source'. As you state, when I paste in the AM (http://www.abc.net.au/news/subscribe/amrss.xml) URL feed into my browser, I see that the last entry (as of now) is from 17th April... so how come this isn't updated in Feeddemon or Newsgator Online and there I only see 15th?

Is there something else about the xml feed/embedded that I don't understand? The pubDate tag is updated, so why isn't Feeddemon?

For me the problem appears in several feeds. But they are not constantly out of sync only sometimes.
For example yesterday evening I had a lot of unread items (in several feeds), I definitely had already read at work.
On the other today everything was in sync. I have no idea when and why it happens but when it happens it's a real timekiller. I somehow have the feeling that FeedDemon is not the problem but the NewsGator platform beneath it.

For any other issues, please pass the feed URL for testing.

Same problem for me...

[url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/subscribe/amrss.xml ]http://www.abc.net.au/news/subscribe/amrss.xml [/url] or [url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/subscribe/pmrss.xml ]http://www.abc.net.au/news/subscribe/pmrss.xml [/url] don't appear to be updating any more...

Hi,
I have the same problem. Currently I have a lot of items appearing as unread also I already received them in another FeedDemon instance.
I'm using FeedDemon on 3 machines and NewsGator Mobile from my Treo (via Opera Mini). I've completly ditched NewsGator Online. If I need to access NewsGator from a PC that has no FeedDemon installation I also use NewsGator Mobile now. I just don't like this Ajax stuff in NewsGator Online. NewsGator Mobile is much better, slick and fast, and at least a little bit more reliable.
But currently my biggest request is a realiable synchronization feature.

Same is happening with me more and more. I love FeedDemon, but I'm losing time rather than saving it due to this syncing issue.

Hello,

I have FeedDemon installed at home and at the office so I can keep up to date on my feeds when I'm working or at home. However since the last 2 or 3 weeks I've noticed that syncing doesn't work 100% anymore.
I read some feeds at work, mark them as read, close FeedDemon and it says it's syncing. Then I get home, start FeedDemon and see a lot of articles in feeds I marked as read at the office.
It doesn't appear to go wrong for all articles, but a lot of them slip through it seems.
