I briefly saw what Harlan described - thousands of new articles in every subscription, but that only lasted about a day and then it went back to zero new articles again. Still no response from Bloglines customer service. Bloglines has been broken for over 4 weeks now.

There does however seem to have been a lot of posts recently to the bloglines blog about maintenance and downtime and the cynic in me did wonder whether right now bloglines move on feed access standards and privacy isn’t just a diversionary tactic to distract the masses.

All of those feeds that haven't been updating in a month now report in some cases *thousands* of messages unread. When I press "mark all unread", they go to 0, but then if I click "My Feeds" to check again, they all come back. The good news is that they seem to be working on it. The bad news is that they've apparently hired chimps on crack to do their development. Now Bloglines is broken in a new way…!

No posts on all my favorite feeds for two weeks! I also got the canned response that they "are aware of it". Looks like another great service is going away.

This is sooo annoying. I can't get any of my saved items to display. They must be somewhere -- the numbers are showing in the parentheses on my feed list -- but they do not display. I only get new items. Very, very irritational. Free, yes, but if I lose all those saved items, it's not even worth nothing, is it? Argh! This is sooo annoying.

Yesterday from about 3pm in the afternoon to 12am my feeds never updated once. It showed all subscriptions as being empty (which they weren't). Still getting feeds saying they have 1 new item, but nothing really being there, and than one feed that is frequently updated is marked as having NO new items, yet when i click on it there is actually a number in the 40s!

I noticed first that some feeds would not show any postings when I click on them. That has been happening for a few days now. And then, last night, for hours, nothing seems to show up as new and unread and with over 1000+ feeds, I KNOW that it's not possible. So, I went to read at Rojo, which is obviously not as good as Bloglines. I have not been able to find a true Bloglines clone that allows me to just click on a folder and view everything on the right, regardless of how many posts or entries. I hate having to keep clicking to view posts. I just want a one click reader and Bloglines is still the only one that allows me to view the feeds with one click Yes.
