New "Check" feature issue
jameswilliams90@gmail.com 8 months ago	Hi John, One thing I have just found is that when I attempt to 'check' for new episodes from the MyLounge area the feeds don't update. I have to go to the podcast page itself to get it to 'check' properly. Also I'm not sure whether this is intentional, but I have to push the check every time to ensure that the podcasts appear as updated on the site. Some podcasts were missing several episodes as a result of this. Just wondering whether this is intentional. Cheers, James PS. Would love to have a chat about Podlounge on the Podcasters' Emporium when you have a spare moment.
DarkAz 7 months ago	Hi James, let me explain how this is supposed to work and show you a sample (hopwfully that will clarify things) when you click on the "check" link it will be replaced by text saying "Just now" - at the same time if there are any new episodes then the updated column will change from something like "1 week ago" to "just now - 1 new" - the 1 new indicates how many new episodes were found keeping our records of podcasts up to date while keeping the site fast for users is always a challenge - if we check the feed everytime somebody views a page it slows things down. We do have a "bot" that is constantly working through the feeds and looking for updates, but with tens of thousands of podcasts it takes quite some time to get through them all. Happy to have a chat as soon as I can get some time - I'll send you an email when time permits. Cheers John

Hi James,

let me explain how this is supposed to work and show you a sample (hopwfully that will clarify things)

when you click on the "check" link it will be replaced by text saying "Just now" - at the same time if there are any new episodes then the updated column will change from something like "1 week ago" to "just now - 1 new" - the 1 new indicates how many new episodes were found

keeping our records of podcasts up to date while keeping the site fast for users is always a challenge - if we check the feed everytime somebody views a page it slows things down. We do have a "bot" that is constantly working through the feeds and looking for updates, but with tens of thousands of podcasts it takes quite some time to get through them all.

Happy to have a chat as soon as I can get some time - I'll send you an email when time permits.

Cheers
