I don't think this is sync-related, simply because I have a lot of unsynched feeds and have never seen this.

Is it possible that you're running the "Panic Button" or some other feature which marks items as read?  Do these feeds have read items that you've missed?

Have never used Panic Button.  Weirdly, since I changed the Subscriptions folder limit to 100, some of the feeds now seem to have a max # of ** 40 **, while others have retained their 30 or 20 limits.  WEIRD!  Must be a setting issue!

Any other ideas??  Thanks, all!!!

I don't know if this will help Nick chase it down but I am having the same problem. I just subscribed to about 10 new feeds, all of which have dozens of posts in the recent past. When I subscribe, FeedDemon grabs only the most 10 recent posts from each. One feed grabbed 110 but all the others just grabbed 10. Original post was about getting 20 or 30 or 40 but I got 10 on all of mine except one which pushed down 110.

There must be a setting somewhere but if even Nick doesn't know where it is, I'm wondering if sites somehow set a cap and stop FeedDemon from pulling down more than 10. Doesn't seem possible given that viewing the RSS page in a browser pulls down hundreds - I'm not sure how a site would determine that a request is coming from FeedDemon and stop at 10. Seems like this would have to be inside FeedDemon.

Any suggestions appreciated.

The 10 post issue is actually Google's fault - if you subscribe to a synchronized feed, it's Google's fault. When Google picks up a new feed it only keeps up to the 10 most recent posts within the last 30 days as unread and marks all the rest read.

What you describe is actually typical of how RSS feeds work. Most (but not all) RSS feeds contain only the most recent articles, and 10 articles is the most common cut-off. In other words, a site may have hundreds of articles, but its RSS feed contains only the 10 most recent ones.

Another clue:  if I leave Feed Demon open, it will accrue more than 20/30 feeds per subscription.  It's only when FD is not running, and the feed has generated in excess of that mysterious 20 or 30 items, the problem occurs - start up FD, and it will only load the most recent 20 (or 30).  Any further ideas?

thx,
