I wondered about a cache, as when I opened the rss feed asp file directly in my browser, it showed our forum posts, just not from the page I put that code in.
Fixed/solved/understood.
That is COOL! Thanks!

I note that with it set to 10, in our case, it NEVER refreshes - it will show the same each time you load the page, even hours later, or even if you clear your IE cache and restart the browser. Once you have seen what it shows, it sticks. I set it to 0 and it will change.
Is there a web server setting that is doing this?

My msiatke it should be:- If DateDiff("n", Application("rssWebWizForumsUpdated"), Now()) >= intTimeToLive ThenWith "m" in there it's set to months not minutes, so set to update every 10 months. Teach me for knocking this together in 30 minutes on a Sunday afernoon without properly testing it

How bad can it get, if I have around 500 people visiting that page every few minutes while the intTimeToLive' number is set to 0, would it bring my server down? Wouldn't that be a security issue?

It could get very bogged down if you set it to 0 and have 500 people visiting every few minutes. I highly recommend you not have it at 0 if you have that many users. What this script is doing is it looks up the rss feed for the latest posts and stores it into an application variable. The application variable is used like a cache, so it that others will see the latest posts without making another query to the database. It is set to do this once every ten minutes, but if you set it to 0, it will look up the rss feed every time a person visits the page. If you do plan to have it at 0, then you may as well not even put the results into an application variable and just output the results via a response.write.

Can you remove the commentary out? This part: 'MS XML Object
It could be possible that when you copied and pasted the code, another
higher bit character was put in instead of the ' which is used to
comment out comments..
