Hi All,

We have been informed by our engineering team that the RSS feeds should be back to normal. Could you please check if it's working for you and let us know if you are still experiencing issues?

Thank you for your cooperation!

Thanks for the heads up Valeria. I've been lurking in this thread and hoping for an update for days now. I can confirm that feeds are coming into my Mozilla Thunderbird RSS reader just before I posted this message. Not sure how well, but it typically takes 2-3 days for a big feed like mine to update fully.

Happy to report my RSS feed notification service has accepted the new link!

Thank you Valeria. While some feeds are filtering through, I just did a test against saved keyword searches, and RSS feeds are still very weak in number compared to the jobs posting in the job feed. I will validate again in the morning to see if that makes a difference, and if not, delete all feeds and recreate them to see if that makes a difference. Thank you keeping this high on your list.

Working 100 percent better--almost back to normal. Thanks!

BROKE AGAIN ... UNABLE TO ADD RSS FEEDS.

Hi Jeri,

Are you still having issues with the RSS feeds? I have checked with the engineers and they confirmed that it should be working fine and nothing has been changed. Please, let me know.

Hi Valeria -

I sure am. I have audited the actual postings in the Job Feed against what is hitting Feedly, and it is about 20 percent.

I would actually recreate the feeds, except when I go to the Job Feed to recreate the search to create an RSS feed, the system does not create a feed that can integrate into feedly.

The indirect downside is that in the job feed search--for example--if I search on the word "writer"--the job feed actually states that there are no jobs for writers!!

Thank you for following up, Jeri. I forwarded your report to our engineers. There may be an hour delay in generating feeds, but the team is planing to apply some updates to improve it.

I appreciate your cooperation.

Hi! I use the following link to get rss feed from upwork. But it doesn't work almost all the time. I use NetNewsWire and NewsFire as RSS clients on my Mac.

Could you please tell if it is normal or RSS is going to be fixed? As far as I remember upwork/odesk always had issues with RSS. Or may be there is another way to be quickly informed about new projects?

Thank you.

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that I am having issue with Upwork RSS Jobs Feed with Outlook. I have added some favourite jobs to my Outlook RSS Feed and it works great and the recent update on the website have caused some issue and I am unable to get the updated list of my favourite jobs. Can you please restore the RSS section to the previous stage.

Thanks

Mohsin
