I found out today that GvM forums can be read via RSS feed...sawweettt.

I was wondering if whoever the wizard behind that could make the entire post to be posted in the feed summary.

Not sure if I explain this right but basically, when you "click" (I use Google Reader) on a feed entry, you get a small summary of the post, say the first 3 lines. Other feeds make it so that once you click, you get the entire post in the summary field.

Hopefully, the explanation above is a bit more clear lol...

Anyways, that was a neat discovery...

The problem with the rss feed is that it may cost to many resources if a lot of long posts are included.
Note that in this case the information of the post is stored in the feed so it isn't asked for the moment you click on a certain post, that is why it can cause problems. I have increased the number of lines shown by 4 times of what it used to be now, to see how the server will hold up to that. I might decide to remove the maximum if it works out fine.
