I know this is old but it's just as relevant today as it was and should be in the public record. I just encountered this bug. I ran TES4Edit and checked to see what was modifying the meshes used for the Argonian female hand (and feet as well, it turns out). It's the "CM Partners Terise UFF BAB HGEC" mod in the currently available version on the nexus uploaded 2008-07-03. It shows as "Terimer.esp" in your load order. I'm not sure why Argonians were modified for that mod, but I don't see a good reason for it, so I completely deleted the Argonian race from that mod's .esp using TES4Edit. I'm not sure if there will be any side effects, but I'll report back if there are. If I don't, then no harm was in evidence to me. As always, be sure you are careful with what you do in TES4Edit! And if you create a bashed patch, you will need to rebuild it if you let it merge race records for the Terimer race (which it would do by default).

I can confirm this problem, I am only getting updates on the Oblivion feed, not on the other two. And I can confirm it affects multiple RSS aggregators.

Ah, I see. That makes sense. I suppose an alternative would be to strip out links to non-nexus sites but leave any nexus links intact. But perhaps that'd be too involved for the benefit, or not cover all scenarios that are causing problems.

Aye, I had run into that a number of times, but it never bothered me. I'd just get the "image is missing" page and move on. I always knew what it meant. If people were getting confused, one alternative solution would be to elaborate just a bit more on the "image is missing" page about why it might be missing and not to go complaining about it. :) Anyways, thanks for the response.

Hello. It seems that, around late April, links to new images in the File Tracking Feed stopped being generated. It still lists the change, but the clickable link that goes straight to the image is gone. Was this intentional? If not, could it be put back? It was handy and saved having to go to the project page and locate the image manually. I'd think it would be a minor bandwidth-saver for the Nexus. This occurs for all three sites. Thank you, Greg

I have given this problem some thought, and I have a suspicion of what is causing it, or, at least, what is causing the most pressing problem which is that new items don't show up in aggregators after marking existing items read. I think it's because the individual items in the project action log RSS feeds do not have unique GUIDs. Instead the URL of the project page is used for GUID. This works (not properly but at least still functions) for the overall feeds like the update feed, but, for individual project feeds, I think it causes them to be all but non-functional. For example, a new item comes in for a project with a GUID of the project's URL. One marks it read. Now, a new item comes in. Because the GUID is still the same, the aggregator thinks that it is the same item and it should still be marked read. Again, I'm no RSS expert. The above is just a hypothesis. If I'm wrong, I apologize. I'll be happy to continue to try to figure out what is going wrong because I think these new project action log RSS feeds are a wonderful feature and I'd love it if this could be resolved. On a different note, I'd like to suggest that, when clicking on a project link in the RSS feed, that it takes one to the action log of the project page instead of the description. But that's a minor quibble. Thank you, Greg

Hello. As I mentioned in my post in the File Tracking thread, I decided to try to make extensive use out of the new per-project RSS feeds. I'm pretty sure my plan will work but I think the feeds themselves may be malformed. I want to say up front that I'm not knowledgeable about RSS from a development standpoint, my experience is purely from a user standpoint. So I setup the feeds in my primary aggregator, FeedDemon. However, as new events were posted to the action log, they were not showing up in my aggregator. I later noticed that they were arriving but immediately being marked read and that they would display in random order instead of by date. At first I assumed it was a flaw w/ FeedDemon, so I put the feeds into NewsFox. NewsFox choked on them as well. For one thing, the feeds do not appear to be compliant. For example, there are errors for the action log feed for The Winter Forge. Additionally, and I don't know if this is because of the above problems or an additional one, but all events show up w/ no date in NewsFox. I think this is the same reason they are not showing up properly in FeedDemon as well. Also, while the Latest File Updates feed shows as compliant (although w/ a recommended change), I still have date issues with it in both aggregators. Although at least this feed works for me, unlike the others. These issues appear for all three sites: TES, FO3 and DA. Can anyone else verify these problems? Thank you.

Might there be made a way to optionally get a file tracking feed like we had before, where it's not grouped by project? It was near perfect for my needs - with only the ability to filter by update type lacking. I liked just logging in and seeing only what has changed since the previous day without having to go through every project, most of which are unchanged. While I like the new per-project RSS feeds, I'd still prefer to be able to opt into the old format (although I certainly can understand why others would prefer this). Thank you. Edit: In case that option is not to be made available, what I'll try is using the individual RSS feeds in an RSS aggregator folder - that should give me roughly the experience I had before.
