 Late Update: I believe we have determined the source of the problem and may have things back to normal soon.
If you subscribe to TPC via a syndication feed (RSS) like My Yahoo, FeedDemon, Google Reader, etc., you may not be getting all of the posts through the feed. I’ve noticed some anomalies with the feeds since we transferred to this site last week; however they seemed to be limited to statistical reporting rather than actual syndication.
I don’t have a clue at the moment what the problem may be. Since there are at least three separate entities involved in making the feeds available, one of which is FeedBurner, I cannot begin to guess the severity of the problem or how long it may take to rectify it. For now, no changes will be made to redirect the feeds, but please be aware you may not be receiving all posts in the interim. Of course, you can come directly to the site and not miss anything, If the problem persists for more than 24 hours, I may redirect the feeds, but that’s more of a last resort circumvention.
My apologies for the inconvenience and I hope to have this resolved quickly.
