No newsfire notifications

Hi,

Growl on the whole is working fine for me, but I can't get Newsfire notifications to work.

Newsfire registers itself no problem, but I don't get notified of RSS updates.

I had to go into the Growl Pref Pane to enable the Newsfire notify script, I've stopped and started Growl, I've even removed the app and let it add itself again. I've even restarted my mac, but nothing is happening.

Have I missed something?

Hope you can help

OK, going to answer my own question here, though I don't think this is the full answer.

I just added a new feed to Newsfire and Growl notified me of the new items in the feed.

It seems that any feeds already in Newsfire don't want to talk to Growl, only new feeds added will kick off the notification.

I'm going to do more tests but that's what I've found so far.

If this is the case is it a Growl or a Newfire problem?

If it works for some feeds and not the other, maybe get info on those feeds and see if you can enable it through a inspector window or something. I don't use newsfire, so you'll pardon me if I'm wrong.

Thanks The_Tick

It turns out that I had to delete and remake all my feeds to be able to get them to work.

They are all working properly now so thanks for the help.
