Annoying empty items in RSS feed
I've subscribed to few forum feeds with GreatNews.
After few hours greatnews listing is filled with lots of empty items and few real placed on forum.
It gets annoying scrolling through 50 items and find only 2

I've looked into your feed and it looks that problem is related to first item in feed. It doesn't hold forum topic information it just shows information about lastBuildDate (I guess..)
That buildDate changes constantly therefore GreatNews on every read treats it as new item... and that's I guess the cause of that flood of empty items..

We added Description Tag to the topic, and tested on GreatNews reader. Now it is working fine. If you still have issues let us know.
