Why is it that more and more often, the content in MakeUseOf's RSS feed contains nothing more than a "Read more..." link?

Here's how I subscribed:1) Open http://www.makeuseof.com in Firefox2) Click the blue RSS icon in the address bar3) Select "Subscribe to 'RSS 2.0'..."Note: Selecting any variation (RSS 2.0 or Atom 0.3) results in displaying http://feeds2.feedburner.com/Makeuseof4) Copy/Paste "http://feeds2.feedburner.com/Makeuseof" into Mail.app as a RSS feed sourceAlso noteworthy: Safari yields the same results (all pointing to the above URL), but it also lists a "RSS .92" variant. If I add http://www.makeuseof.com/feed/ to Mail.app as a RSS feed source, the same behavior is observed: numerous posts that only contain "Read more..."

Not sure why this is happening. The Feedburner source looks fine, and seems to display just fine in everything but Safari and Mail.app. I built a Yahoo! pipe that does nothing but load in the Feedburner feed, and it works in Safari and Mail.app. You can use this link to subscribe to it:

Ugh -- I didn't realize that I wasn't automatically subscribed to comments -- sorry for the delay! At any rate, I am using Mail.app on OS X 10.6.3. Here's a quick screencast:http://screencast.com/t/MWE2YWE5Z

hmmm, I see... May I ask you you what link (RSS/XML etc.) did you use to subscribe to MakeUseOf? Didi you use the makeuseof.com/feed or http://feedproxy.google.com/Makeuseof ?

@ TheAngryPenguinThere should be something wrong. All MakeUseOf feeds should contain full posts. Could you please send us a screenshot of what you see and the RSS feed you're using?

I'm glad you brought this to our attention. I'm not sure why you're experiencing this in your RSS feeds, but rest assured we'll get to the bottom of it.
