    I need to have the FULL post in my RSS feed.

    Any of the mods that eliminate the <!--more--!> tags don't work.

    Here is my feed:
    http://rsnews.gadgetreview.net/?feed=rss2

    Here is the site:
    http://rsnews.gadgetreview.net/

    As you can see, the post is getting cut off by the "..."

    Help please =)

    I know this one works, I use it.

    This is assuming that you've set things up properly, of course.

    Options -> Reading
    Under "Syndication Feeds", be sure you've selected "Full Text."

    I've done all that, and I have read that here before, it DOES NOT WORK.

    Do you know of any other solutions by chance?

    What are you using to check your feed?
    Make sure you View Source if using Firefox...

    In IE it is JUST the page source...

    And The RSS bot in vBulletin I am trying to use is still just posting some of the message along with [...]

    I see full feeds.

    Still.

    I even used IE7 to view your feed. The "styled" thing that IE7 uses does look truncated, but using View Source, I see complete content.

    Not sure how to suggest making it any more fixed than it is now.

    Did you guys that are opening it in IE think about opening it in Firefox? I just did in Firefox 2 and the posts are formated with [...] at the end.

    The reason IE displays them differently is because if you view the source for the RSS feed, you will notice that full text of the post is there in between the <content:encoded></content:encoded> tags. Obviously, IE renders those.

    If you use an aggregagtor such as Planet, this is an issue and should be resolved with either an option or a bug fix to put the full text in between the <description></description> tags.

    If anyone has a solution other than to editing the RSS feed generation PHP code, please reply as I am looking for a solution as well.
