SMF2 - Minor RSS Feed Block Issue

[JGZinv]

Board URL: http://www.shadowaxis.smfnew.com/index.php
Version: SMF 2.x

Issue: I'm trying to link to a rss feed for gaming news ( http://n4g.com/rss/news?channel=xbox-360&sort=today )

However the feed when placed on the board or previewed, doesn't apply the &sort=today
filter to the feed. It basically yields the full unfiltered feed
( http://n4g.com/rss/news?channel=xbox-360 ) which isn't of great use to me.

Wondering if someone might know a work around?

Thanks.

That's odd, it's working for me here.

Could you show me it in use on your site please?

[JGZinv]

It's currently in use now, attached to the forum, left side.

We have to sign up to view and to get to the issue faster i'm sure Matt would appreciate an image

My apologies, must have changed the view settings.

...and an example of the differences between the today filter and full feed:

Oh so you don't just want it as "Today's" you want it has "Today's most popular"?

[JGZinv]

Well I just listed it that way to make a clear distinction.

The difference between the two is simply the &sort=today on the end, which
doesn't seem to be registering with the reader/feed block.

I need to view the source of the page, and I am unable to register:

Evidently... my co-admin has been going behind me and "tweaking" some settings
of the board. My apologies for the odd security question, please try again.

I;ve just checked, and your forum:

News4Gamers
 Xbox 360: The Next 3 Years' Big Titles
 Is this gaming's biggest ever waste of money?
 Namco: Time Crisis PS3 Exclusive Because Of Kinect
 Xbox 360 dashboard update coming before Kinect launch
 IGN: Shank Review
 The Top 5 Annoying Things In Modern Gaming

I then loaded, http://n4g.com/rss/news?channel=xbox-360&sort=today, and found that the order on your forum, is the same order as shown on that page.

[JGZinv]

Well this is exceptionally odd. Perhaps N4G had something on their end wrong and fixed it.
Suppose I'll mark this as solved and just see how it goes.

Thanks for the help, even if it seemed like a goose chase.
