Difficult-to-eradicate bug in RSS feed

joeclark

The RSS feed, most of whose URL is typedrawers.com/discussions/feed.rss, has a correct entry for TITLE:

<title>TypeDrawers</title>

But almost all URLs in the feed other than links to actual discussion pages contain the hostname and domain name

typeboard.vanillaforums.com

Typeboard, not TypeDrawers.

This disparity induces some feedreaders, notably including NetNewsWire, to list the title of the site as Typeboard.

This will be difficult to fix.

(URL for the feed is not given as a link because selecting it will open a newsreader.)

Even this selfsame entry, when seen in RSS, exhibits the same problem.

I’ve spoken to Vanilla about this issue and it seems that fixing at present may cause more issues. There is the possibility that the opportunity to resolve it will present itself in the coming months, at which point I’ll give it a go.
