I follow the forums using Google Reader.
What happens is, that, even if the RSS XML has the right links for the title, Google Reader does not give the right URL
For example, the RSS of the bugs reporting forum
The URL http://www.mojoportal.com/Forums/Thread.aspx?pageid=5&t=11403~-1#post47465
becomes
http://www.mojoportal.com/Forums/Thread.aspx?pageid=
Here is a shot of my Google Reader

The feed has valid link urls in it so I don't see it as a bug in mojoPortal, seems more like a bug in google reader.
Yes, the feed is valid, but that doesn't happen with older versions of mojoportal
For example, with this feed produced by a three years old mojoportal install (2.3.5.x), google reader behaves correctly:
ja. dandandin .it /Forums/RSS.aspx?ItemID=1&mid=7&pageid=3
(spaces inserted as I don't want that spambots get this empty testing forum)
The XML is almost the same, so I don't understand why it behaves like this, maybe google reader doesn't like tildes in URLs?
So bad, because I have the feeling that google reader is becoming an abandoned project as it's getting buried in the top menu
The old parameters still work but are not preferred. Maybe I can detect the user agent for the google feed reader (Feedfetcher-Google) and make it use the old params in that case. I'll see what I can do.
Best,
Joe
Can you check it again using our forum feed from this site and let me know if it is working better now?
I made the change to detect google feed reader and use the old param format.
Thanks,
No, it's the same

Maybe Google is caching the rss (I deleted it and readded it)
edit: yes, i think Google is caching the rss and fetching only in "common hours" as for my website I see only one entry for Google Reader in the log

(see? it skipped the night time, usually there is no activity in my forum)
Ps: I couldn't login using Firefox (login loop), something is messed with my cookies?
No, it looks like it's a different google reader problem
I can't understand why
I saw slashdot rss has tildes in the rss, but it works fine, so the problem must be another one.
I guess trying to solve this is a moot point. Google reader has a popup this morning saying it is going away in July. I'm going to have to look around for an alternative.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
My favorite website!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
They killed all the alternatives and now they disappear!!!!!
I guess my employer would be super happy, according to rescuetime Google Reader is the #1 source of distraction for me
going to have to explore the alternatives to google reader
and feedeemon is also not going to be maintained further.
I am liking feedly, with just a google oauth it imported all my google reader feeds automagically.
Newsblur also is not bad, but it's $12/year (unless you have less than 12 feeds to follow - the limit was 64, but they had to increase their servers number by 8 times overnight to cope with google reader users, haha)
Both have the same keyboard shortcuts j-k for quick skimming (fundamental, i'm not gonna click 1000+ times)
