Sync email/RSS/Calendar configurations and seen/read statuses

<p dir="auto">I'm sure you saw this one coming <img alt="🙂" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-emoji-one emoji--slightly_smiling_face" src="https://forum.vivaldi.net/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/emoji-one/1f642.png?v=bdaa9988eb2" style="height: 23px; width: auto; vertical-align: middle;" title=":)" /></p> <p dir="auto">I often switch between my laptop and my wife's computer at home. I can't say one of them is my main device. I have a Vivaldi profile configured on both of them and most of the configurations are automatically sync'd (except for WebPanels and SearchEngines, which surprises me every time I need to go through this).</p> <p dir="auto">It's really annoying having to reconfigure all email and RSS accounts on both the devices (thinking about getting a new laptop next year - I'll need to do it all over again then). So I'd like to have the option to sync these configurations so I won't have to do it again for each device (or for new installations).</p> <p dir="auto">But, other than just the actual configurations, there are other syncing considerations I'd like to propose:</p> <ul> <li>The possibility to sync some accounts and not others. I'm thinking of people that would like to check their personal email at their work computer but not their work email at their personal computer.</li> <li>If I read an email/feed in one computer I don't want to have to mark it as read in the other one too. Especially, when I buy the new laptop, I don't want to have to mark thousands of messages as seen/read like I did today...</li> </ul>

Limited number of entries when adding new feeds

<p dir="auto">I was wondering if there was any way to adjust the number of entries that enters the feed once you add it. It seems like 15 is the limit? Can that be increased?</p> <p dir="auto">Example: Added a Youtube channel, which has 52 videos so far, but I can only see 15 in my feed. Presumably the newer videos will be added of course, but I wish more previous entries could be gathered.</p> <p dir="auto"><img alt="e91b0cbc-eacb-40ad-86c4-cd5be0cbe336-image.jpeg" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" src="/assets/uploads/files/1777999868187-e91b0cbc-eacb-40ad-86c4-cd5be0cbe336-image.jpeg" /><br /> <img alt="5d5c65eb-58b1-4906-a4b3-68785facc5ee-image.jpeg" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" src="/assets/uploads/files/1777999889198-5d5c65eb-58b1-4906-a4b3-68785facc5ee-image.jpeg" /></p>

Synchronization RSS reader

<p dir="auto">Is it possible to add a synchronization subscribed channels? Now you need to add subscribed channels on each device separately. Synchronization would allow channel sharing between devices and make it easier to use this feature.</p> <p dir="auto">Thank you</p>

Question | It seems my blog posts are not shown anymore

<p dir="auto">Honestly, I didn't access to it since a long time, so not an issue for me, but I find still strange all the older articles were <s>removed</s> actually hidden.</p> <p dir="auto">//EDIT: blog posts were restored so I'll mark this as solved <img alt="🙂" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-emoji-one emoji--slightly_smiling_face" src="https://forum.vivaldi.net/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/emoji-one/1f642.png?v=4fdad4d85b9" style="height: 23px; width: auto; vertical-align: middle;" title=":)" /></p>

Feed-Reader Improvements Requests

<p dir="auto">Now more than ever, it's time to further improve the <strong>Feed-Reader</strong> in #VivaldiBrowser to synchronize feeds with your #Vivaldi account and enable feeds on websites that do not normally offer this feature.</p> <p dir="auto">And perhaps add an offline read later functionality for the feeds! In other words, receiving more content from websites if the user wishes to read offline.<br /> <a href="https://www.androidcentral.com/apps-software/the-read-it-later-pocket-app-to-cease-its-operations-in-july" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.androidcentral.com/apps-software/the-read-it-later-pocket-app-to-cease-its-operations-in-july</a><br /> This will enhance the feature significantly.</p> <p dir="auto">Additionally, we should encourage the marketing team to showcase this feature, as I am confident it will attract more users. I would personally start recommending the #browser to my peers. The only competitor for this feature is #Microsoft<br /> <a href="https://mspoweruser.com/microsoft-edge-followable-web-feature/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://mspoweruser.com/microsoft-edge-followable-web-feature/</a></p> <p dir="auto"><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/jon">@jon</a></p> <p dir="auto"><em>Source:</em><br /> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/@V4Vivaldi/114578849324332175" rel="nofollow ugc">https://social.vivaldi.net/@V4Vivaldi/114578849324332175</a></p>

Enable RSS feeds not working since 7.8

<p dir="auto">Since today update to 7.8 my RSS feed icon on sidebar dissaperead, I'm unable to drag it from panel configuration dialog onto sidebar.</p> <p dir="auto">My settings didn't change and Enable RSS option is still selected.</p> <p dir="auto">Currently icon can be accessed ONLY if you enable RSS, Mail and Calendar option.</p> <p dir="auto">Can someone confirm?</p>

My first post on the Vivaldi Blog was suspended

<p dir="auto">That first post was talking about my intent to reclaim my own digital sovereignty by moving it to Europe (or being decentralized) as I fear that our 'interesting' times will try to control or censor what I think, say or do especially since my web presence is so tied up in the US companies - and my joining Vivaldi is a first step into freedom!</p> <p dir="auto"><img alt="alt text" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" src="https://i.postimg.cc/XvbtZ6xD/2026-03-01-08-08-13-emrynvale-vivaldi-net-434c1d1822ab.png" /><br /> <strong>Oh, The Irony....</strong></p> <p dir="auto">I submitted a message stating what the post is about and that I am happy to make any changes but, other than the automated response, nothing - how long do these things usually take?</p>

it's bad news, my vivaldi blog was suspended

<p dir="auto">it's bad news, my vivaldi blog was suspended, I was merely sharing some information about AI, OpenWRT, email, cloudflare etc. in past four days, anyone can tell me what's wrong?</p>

Icon for pinned Feeds tab

<p dir="auto">I have a Feeds tab pinned and the icon is the Mail (envelope) icon for some reason.</p> <p dir="auto">Shouldn't it be the RSS feed fan icon instead?</p> <p dir="auto"><img alt="Screenshot From 2026-02-27 15-02-35.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" src="/assets/uploads/files/1772233585789-screenshot-from-2026-02-27-15-02-35.png" /></p>

Add Feeds to the "Mail and Calendar Single Key Shortcuts" option

<p dir="auto">In Vivaldi settings, there's an option to enable single key shortcuts for Mail and Calendar, but not for Feeds. I've noticed the shortcuts work in Feeds when I have Mail and Calendar enabled, but they stop working if I disable Mail and Calendar. Is it possible to add Feeds to this so we can use single key shortcuts without enabling the Mail and Calendar features? Here's a screenshot showing the location of the feature in Vivaldi settings:<br /> <img alt="0113225f-6aa2-4287-9c48-3ed6fc0f35f2-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" src="/assets/uploads/files/1745935290102-0113225f-6aa2-4287-9c48-3ed6fc0f35f2-image.png" /></p> <p dir="auto">Thank you.</p>

Check all feeds keyboard shortcut?

<p dir="auto">Is there not a keyboard shortcut to check/refresh all feeds?</p> <p dir="auto">There really needs to be one.</p>

Opening articles in Feeds

<p dir="auto">Really wanting to and trying to switch to using Feeds but I am confused (and surprised) how Feeds works, compared to other popular RSS feed readers.</p> <p dir="auto">The title of the article <strong>should</strong> be a link! It should be a hyperlink of the url to the article! Clicking on it should open up the article in a new (background) tab. That is how it works on other readers.</p> <p dir="auto">I do not really want to have to find the open article button.</p> <p dir="auto">Also having a keyboard shortcut like 'o' could open the current article in a background tab.</p> <p dir="auto">I understand Feeds appears to be built on top of Mail like Feeds in Thunderbird, so I understand the title of the article is currently kinda like a subject <strong>but</strong> it needs to be linkable.</p> <p dir="auto"><strong>Edit</strong>: just checked Thunderbird - they add the link below the article title. That would work too obviously.</p> <p dir="auto"><img alt="Screenshot From 2026-03-01 09-15-17.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" src="/assets/uploads/files/1772385414048-screenshot-from-2026-03-01-09-15-17.png" /></p> <p dir="auto">Am I missing something?</p>

Automatically hide read feeds

<p dir="auto">Newbie here.<br /> Having trouble with feeds. Messages I read keep appearing in the feeds. It's getting harder and harder to find unread messages in the growing list.<br /> In Filters I unchecked the 'Read' box. Refresh, F5, or reload doesn't help.Even 'Mark all as Read' doesn't appear to do anything.<br /> Maybe I just don't get how it's supposed to work...</p>

Enabling only the feed reader seems not to work on 7.8.3925.56

<p dir="auto">I don't use Vivaldi Calendar or Mail, but I do use the feed reader. When I updated Vivaldi today, the streams icon disappeared from the toolbar, and when I tried to re-add it, that didn't work. Since it was the same behavior as when the reader is disabled, I tried enabling Calendar + Mail + Feed reader, and then I could access my subscribed streams as before.</p>

Move Mail/Feeds to specific window

<p dir="auto">I have a multi-window setup, with multiple desktop monitors. I'd like a way to force the Mail and Feeds panels to my primary monitor. I find too often that, after restarting Vivaldi (e.g. after a system reboot), the panels are locked to the window on my second monitor, and I need to fiddle with closing windows in reverse order, restart Vivaldi, then reopen closed windows to get my preferred setup.</p> <p dir="auto">So I'd either like an option to move the panels between windows, or to see support for Mail/Feeds on multiple windows at a time (perhaps per-window show/hide the panel button?)</p>

Error 153 in Feeds

<p dir="auto">I'm using the latest version of Vivaldi (Windows 7.6) on the latest version of Windows 11.<br /> Some of my video Feeds are displayed with the message: 'Watch video on YouTube'. Error 153: Video configuration problem." Others are displayed correctly. The strange thing is that when I next load Vivaldi, some other videos display the message, while some others are displayed correctly.<br /> Could someone please help me sort out this problem? Many thanks.</p>

Set custom refresh time for RSS feeds

<p dir="auto">Hello, I am very happy to see the feeds feature decoupled from mails and I would be very interested in using my browser as a feed reader since it would let me remove one extra program running on my computer, as currently I use another application to do that. However the only thing keeping me from doing that is I need a few feeds to have 1 minute refresh time since their content is sometimes time sensitive and as we can't set the refresh time to anything below 15 minutes I cannot use vivaldi for this purpose.</p> <p dir="auto">If you could let the user decide the refresh time or at least add an option for a 1 minute refresh time I would switch to using vivaldi as my RSS reader.</p>

I can't find my old vivaldi.net blog

<p dir="auto">I can't find my old <a href="http://vivaldi.net" rel="nofollow ugc">vivaldi.net</a> blog, it went from my opera and now I would like to recover my articles.</p> <p dir="auto">I know it was <a href="https://fcojesus-gil.vivaldi.net" rel="nofollow ugc">https://fcojesus-gil.vivaldi.net</a></p>

[Help/Suggest]I need help for find alternatives to Vivaldi's RSS Tool becouse I can't export my feeds to other Vivaldi.

<p dir="auto">Hello, I have been a Vivaldi user since the beginning of this project, what's more, I have been a follower of the work of the founders of Vivaldi, since long before they left Opera and I would like to continue using this browser for many years because for now it is the only one that meets all my exacting demands. It's just great.</p> <p dir="auto">Okay, after this little introduction, you can imagine how excited I was to discover that Vivaldi was going to restore one of the most wonderful tools that version 12 of Opera had: Its integrated RSS reader. I really have been very happy with it.</p> <p dir="auto">But now, I have a problem. I need to format one of my two computers and, as for some unknown reason Vivaldi does not synchronize the feeds between all the browsers of the same account, nor does it allow the feeds to be exported as well as their logs, I am being forced to look for very useful alternative RSS tools. To my regret, but from what I have seen, I have not found any tool that allows me to classify messages manually by color marks in the same way that vivaldi allows. And that is a problem for me.</p> <p dir="auto">Basically, the perfect RSS reader for me is the one in which I can: first of all, not worry about losing the RSS records of the feeds, being able to even see publications prior to the feed subscription, if not all; and on the other hand, organize the feeds alphabetically by folders or themes, and apart from that you can classify the publications by themes through the use of brands (Flags) and labels. Since I use the marks to classify themes and the labels I use them to classify types or sub-themes. For example:<br /> Purple flag: "Space"<br /> Label "History"<br /> Well, all publications would be filtered regardless of the source that have a space theme, and are of a historical nature. Doing it this way, it's very visual to locate the information you want at the time you want it.</p> <p dir="auto">In that sense, I only need that, but it has been impossible for me to locate an rss that does it, so I publish this post, with the purpose that either the Vivaldi developers update the tool with the possibility of synchronizing the feeds between browsers of the same account, or allow all that data to be exported, in order to be retrieved again in the Vivaldi browser.</p> <p dir="auto">In my case, due to this lack, I am going to be forced to delete an 8-month-old RSS record, and I believe that users should not be forced to do so, especially since many of us use it as a reference tool for our investigations.</p> <p dir="auto">My question parallel to the above is:<br /> In case Vivaldi doesn't plan to improve this tool...Is there an alternative that is pretty much the same as Vivaldi's RSS but the data can be exported and kept safe from user hardware or software failure?</p> <p dir="auto">I have looked at quite a few RSSReaders and I have tried Feedly and Inoreader, because being a website it does not matter where you access it from, but not having the possibility of classifying the publications by brands (flags) and requiring automated filters to put labels on the publications I find them quite cumbersome to use.</p> <p dir="auto">If someone can help me I will be very grateful because I don't know what else to do. <img alt="😢" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-emoji-one emoji--crying_face" src="https://forum.vivaldi.net/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/emoji-one/1f622.png?v=bdaa9988eb2" style="height: 23px; width: auto; vertical-align: middle;" title=":'(" /></p> <p dir="auto">Please improve this tool. * . *</p>

Suspended Blog Account

<p dir="auto">Hi guys, I follow a blog @[email protected], initially I noticed that the blog was not showing on my feed anymore, I searched it, and the account was suspended(only on vivaldi social), I can no longer find the account from Vivaldi Social, this blog never disrespected anyone, I would like to see it showing again. Thanks</p>

Better keyboard shortcuts and article viewing when reading feeds

<p dir="auto">As I first discussed <a href="https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/53839/focus-issues-using-keyboard">here</a> and again more recently <a href="https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/88367/5-reasons-why-a-browser-and-mail-combination-is-worth-it/13">here</a>, it was inconvenient to mostly use keyboard when viewing feeds. It now seems to be impossible without using the mouse.</p> <p dir="auto">Therefore, I request a couple of dedicated key shortcuts to navigate and open newsfeeds, as well as a change in behaviour to keep the index focussed when opening and closing articles.</p> <p dir="auto">Request is therefore:</p> <ul> <li> <p dir="auto">new keyboard shortcut to open article in a new tab (instead of using mouse to click the "open article" button)</p> </li> <li> <p dir="auto">new keyboard shortcut to open article in a background tab (instead of using CTRL-click on the "open article" button)</p> </li> <li> <p dir="auto">keep focus on the open index of news articles when returning to the feed/mail tab (at the moment focus is completely lost - until recently I could use F7 then F9 to get back to the article index but that no longer works and I have ti use the mouse for this as well)</p> </li> </ul>

Guide | Lost or Corrupted Feed Mitigation

<p dir="auto"><strong>If you have lost or corrupted RSS Feed posts you wanted to save, but are too old for the Parent Blog to send them anymore, there may be a way to get them back!</strong></p> <p dir="auto"><em>Revision 5: Feb 3, 2024, 14:30Z</em></p> <ul> <li><strong>Seeking Tranquility in the Face of Feed-deleting Remedies</strong></li> </ul> <p dir="auto">Many of the remedies called for in this guide ask you to delete Feeds from Vivaldi while on a path to restoring your complete NewsFeed health. You may have trepidation doing this. What you can do to relieve this anxiety is check the "WayBack Machine" to see if your Feed is captured in the time periods you are concerned with (or perhaps even for the entire life of the Feed). Simply go to <a href="http://web.archive.org" rel="nofollow ugc">web.archive.org</a> and type the address of the Feed in question into the textbox in the page header and press enter. Here is an example using <a href="http://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default:" rel="nofollow ugc">http://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default:</a></p> <p dir="auto"><img alt="3b49804a-1b05-4577-be2c-6e9c52fb93f4-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" src="/assets/uploads/files/1706923991999-3b49804a-1b05-4577-be2c-6e9c52fb93f4-image.png" /></p> <p dir="auto">If you get a timeline as a result, and the capture dates displayed are about the time period(s) you want to keep, you can take a deep breath because you will be able to restore your Feed, Feed deletion notwithstanding...</p> <p dir="auto"><img alt="5020968c-e541-4238-a802-accf89b0bfa0-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" src="/assets/uploads/files/1706924047676-5020968c-e541-4238-a802-accf89b0bfa0-image.png" /></p> <p dir="auto">You can use the first of two methods provided here to restore your Feed to be healthy and normal within Vivaldi.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Uncaptured Feeds</strong></li> </ul> <p dir="auto">If the WayBack Machine did not capture your Feed (i.e. you get no timeline or no timeline where you need it), you may not be able to restore the older posts in the Feed to the Vivaldi Feed itself. If restarted from scratch, most Feeds will only restore the most recent posts but the older ones may perish if you delete the Feed. If this is your case, use the second of two approaches given below which restores the posts outside of Vivaldi.</p> <hr /> <p dir="auto"><strong>First Method: "All-in-One"</strong></p> <p dir="auto">Use this method if you have confirmed the WayBack Machine has captured your Feed on or near the Feed historic dates you want to keep. This method is capable of restoring the entire lifetime of the Feed into the same Feed listing which Vivaldi is now keeping current. What's better than that?.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Backing up Vivaldi Data</strong></li> </ul> <p dir="auto">And now a brief word from our sponsor.... On advice from our Moderator Community, please make a backup of your <a href="https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/install-update/full-reset-of-vivaldi/#Backup_Vivaldi_data" rel="nofollow ugc">Vivaldi profile folder</a> before executing this method. Note that Feed data is not sync'd. Personally, I include my Vivaldi profile in my weekly PC image backup.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Database Error Detected</strong></li> </ul> <p dir="auto">First, if your Feed panel or Feed settings dialog says "Database Error Detected", you must first clear that error before proceeding with this approach, or else it will interfere with the re-addition of the historic posts you seek. Even the addition of today's new posts fresh from the site is an unreliable affair at best while this condition persists. My experience is that the Database error is cleared when you delete one or two offending Feed entries in the Feed Settings dialog. It is likely that the Feed for which you are seeking history on is the same Feed messing up the database, so it's a good bet that deleting that one will clear the database condition.</p> <p dir="auto">In some circumstances, Vivaldi may indicate which Feed is causing the problem in the Feed Settings interface feed list if the user scrolls through item-by-item. There is at least one report in this topic which cites a retrieval error rather than an actual database error causing "Database Error Detected" to appear. <strong>Check if all your feed URLs remain accurate.</strong></p> <p dir="auto">In the absence of such an indicator, usually the user or their conscience knows which Feed(s) caused the database error. Another approach is to delete the Feeds in the reverse order they were created. Again, you don’t need to worry about Feed deletion if the WayBack Machine has got you covered.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Restore Feeds</strong></li> </ul> <p dir="auto">Once the database error(s) is/are cleared, you can try reinstating the deleted Feed and then use the "Restore Feeds" button and see if everything falls into place correctly and you get your historic posts back. There have been reports with older Vivaldi versions that a number of restarts is needed to see this through - not sure if this is the case with the current 6.5, but there is, in any event, a lag for the full restoration to be realized, so please allow it ample time to show results.</p> <p dir="auto">If you do not have the Database problem annunciated on your Feed panel/Feed settings dialog, try the "Restore Feeds" button in the Feed Settings dialog. If a Feed in Vivaldi is corrupted such that the "Restore Feeds" is not successful in restoring all the older historic posts you want, you will need to delete that Feed and then recreate it (if you haven't already done so for the aforementioned Database error(s)) as a new Feed entry. Upon re-creation, it is highly likely the source site may only send you the most recent posts, and anything else older than that which you wanted to keep is no longer accessible.</p> <ul> <li> <p dir="auto"><strong>What follows is a technique to recover those older posts and have them once again reside within the same Feed as the current Feed.</strong></p> </li> <li> <p dir="auto"><strong>There is also a secondary method given below the primary which recovers the posts contents and links outside of Vivaldi.</strong></p> </li> </ul> <p dir="auto">With this approach you can restore any or all Feed captures that the WayBack Machine has to your current active Feed, fully restoring its health.</p> <p dir="auto">The first step is to delete the Feed, and then recreate it with the known address. Proceed after the Feed has gathered its most recent posts into Vivaldi.</p> <p dir="auto">Go to <a href="http://web.archive.org" rel="nofollow ugc">web.archive.org</a>, also known as the "WayBack Machine" (named after a frequented fictitious time machine in the 1959 American cartoon series "Rocky and Bullwinkle"):</p> <p dir="auto"><img alt="55dd59ea-fc1d-4213-a085-a83471399a3f-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" src="/assets/uploads/files/1706488790821-55dd59ea-fc1d-4213-a085-a83471399a3f-image.png" /></p> <p dir="auto">Fortunately this website crawls over and saves many other websites periodically.</p> <p dir="auto">Incidentally, here is the original WABAC machine:</p> <p dir="auto"><img alt="21e8e4de-c220-45a1-87fa-2a1028e13c9a-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" src="/assets/uploads/files/1706493395875-21e8e4de-c220-45a1-87fa-2a1028e13c9a-image.png" /></p> <p dir="auto">Go to your Feed list in Vivaldi and copy to the clipboard the URL of the feed in question:</p> <p dir="auto"><img alt="a02e2eea-bd50-49a3-bbb1-1c98d2f3bd84-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" src="/assets/uploads/files/1706489461014-a02e2eea-bd50-49a3-bbb1-1c98d2f3bd84-image.png" /></p> <p dir="auto">In this case the URL is <a href="http://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default" rel="nofollow ugc">http://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default</a>.

This method will give you the post texts and their embedded hyperlinks, but you will have to copy and paste them somewhere else outside of Vivaldi to record them. In this example, I will show how it is done in Windows.</p> <p dir="auto">Even though Vivaldi cannot find these older posts and list them out for you in the intended format, <strong>the good news is the posts are still there in your profile in a readable fashion.</strong></p> <p dir="auto">Click on the "Reveal Data Folder" in the Vivaldi Feed Settings dialog:<br /> <img alt="7518d042-2d3d-4d5d-a4e6-238afc31bc80-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" src="/assets/uploads/files/1706748245144-7518d042-2d3d-4d5d-a4e6-238afc31bc80-image.png" /></p> <p dir="auto">A new tab will appear in your browser that will list the contents of the folder containing all your Feed messages. It does <strong>exclude all mail</strong> despite the parent folder's namesake.

It is important to recognize these are "data" folders only and not the "database" itself. Now open this folder in your operating system's folder listing:<br /> <img alt="092b212d-26fd-48a0-8816-6cb07de6cfc6-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" src="/assets/uploads/files/1706748933905-092b212d-26fd-48a0-8816-6cb07de6cfc6-image.png" /></p> <p dir="auto">You can now navigate to any date for which there was Feed text and see what that that text was, and even what links it contained. Once you get down to the post level, the post files are saved in ".eml" (email) file format:<br /> <img alt="411e1e2a-50bc-48a7-a3af-1c36be589b6d-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" src="/assets/uploads/files/1706749126865-411e1e2a-50bc-48a7-a3af-1c36be589b6d-image.png" /></p> <p dir="auto">These .eml files should be readable by an external email program, such as Outlook. Opening the .eml file and observe the post you lost:<br /> <img alt="a928553f-bf66-4e79-8db5-5a4808e6e406-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" src="/assets/uploads/files/1706749282392-a928553f-bf66-4e79-8db5-5a4808e6e406-image.png" /></p> <p dir="auto">Note that the email header will always be completely blank, so you are relying on the contained folder hierarchy to date the post. You will have to decide which Feed the post belongs to by reading it. Simple enough.</p> <p dir="auto"><strong>Warning</strong> - do not make the mistake of re-organizing this .eml file and folder structure believing if will fix the damaged database. These files only tell Vivaldi what a post says once the database has pointed to it. Since you can't fix the database, you cannot fix the damaged Feed listings. Manipulating this file and folder structure will result in your database pointing to data it cannot find and <strong>results in what were good posts now appearing blank.</strong> Be content you have resurfaced the date and content and leave it at that.</p> <p dir="auto">--<br /> <code>ModEdit: Title | Added to Guide | list</code><br /> Author Edit Jan 31, 2024 4:00Z: Added database error paragraphs.<br /> Author Appended with alternate method and added editorial note Feb 1, 2024 5:30Z<br /> Author Rewrite Feb 3 0:55Z<br /> Author appended Database Error section Feb 4, 2024 13:30Z<br /> Rev 5: Author added Backup Data section per Moderator request Feb 4, 2024 14:30Z</p>

<p dir="auto">Hi all,</p> <p dir="auto">New to Vivaldi here, just downloaded and was checking feed, in one of the videos I watched it showed that youtube could be added as feed, however when checking the preview, it gives me the error attached.

Some feeds aren't being checked

<p dir="auto">I had been using Thunderbird and copied all my feeds from there into Vivaldi. As I added each one it grabbed the latest articles and seemed to be working. A few days later, I've noticed that not all my feeds are updating. Some are still working fine, others report no new posts - even when I click the "check all feeds" button - but if I open Thunderbird I can see that there are new posts. Checking in the settings, the URLs and refresh intervals seem to be correct, but I still don't see any posts from these feeds. Any idea what's going on or how to fix it?</p>

unable to sort feeds by Subject

<p dir="auto">Hi. Hoping someone can help. It seems this functionality is no longer available!</p> <p dir="auto">I have a feed with thousands of records, 80% of which have duplicated subject lines. Until the most recent (?) update, I was able to click on the Subject heading, which sorted by subject and descending date order (date, size, sender, etc., still work). That way I could quickly scroll thorough all items and remove all but the latest item in the thread. Now clicking on the Subject heading does absolutely nothing. This makes the feed entirely useless to me.</p> <p dir="auto">I'm using Vivaldi 7.9.3970.47 on a Windows 11 desktop. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.</p>
