But nobody here recall/understand how and when we “submitted a forum link as the feed”. Anyway let us hope this is solved.

(However, when I posted to http://planet.mysql.com/new yesterday I tried different *invalid* links (ie. links to pages with no such functionality) but that was *after* both Forums posts had become syndicated)

We do not want random Forums posts aggregated to planet.mysql.

We at Webyog are NOT responsible for this! Also we are contacting through this interface as we did not find a way to contact otherwise.

This is an old Forums post with no activity for months.
What is happening. HELP!

Besides I have tried to communicate with MySQL from their website at least 5-6 times over the last 3-4 years without ever getting any response. Even when we had a paid subscription some years back the login suddenly stopped working. They did not even reply to inquiries about that. I blogged about it in our old Blog system. Some executive replied that it was a reverse DNS problem with their hosting provider. However it was reproducible both from our India office and my place in Denmark. We had no information that there was ever any attempt to solve it. That lasted for 3-4 months and the subscription expired. And we did not renew it of course (we would also need to login to do!). Now we are happy without that subscription.

My experience is that if I write a Blog or post to bugs.mysql.com I get a response – when contacting MySQl from various contact links on their website I don’t.

Note: this is a *personal* comment.

If you want only your posts in the MySQL category to show up, get the URL for the feed for the MySQL category, contact PlanetMySQL and ask them to change your web feed to that URL. Note that the filter on the word “mysql” will still apply, so make sure to use that word somewhere.

There is a “Feedback” link at Planet MySQL, which would have been a more appropriate place to ask your question, instead of writing a blog post about it — as they’re the ones who know for sure what’s happening (this is just my guess).
