I know this issue was brought up in the other thread, but it's become significantly worse over the last few days and now it's happening every time I try to post.

The error (above the PF title):
Code:
Warning: MagpieRSS: Failed to fetch [PLAIN]https://www.physicsforums.com/magpierss/cache/physorg111.xml.cache[/PLAIN]  (HTTP ) in [path]/magpierss/rss_fetch.inc on line 238

Warning: array_slice() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in [path]/includes/class_postbit.php(265) : eval()'d code on line 17

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/class_postbit.php(265) : eval()'d code on line 18

Warning: array_slice() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in [path]/includes/class_postbit.php(265) : eval()'d code on line 24

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/class_postbit.php(265) : eval()'d code on line 25

The error (in the page itself):
Code:
Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/physicsf/public_html/includes/class_core.php
Line: 3242

Basically, every post I make now produces this error.

I know it doesn't stop my post being registered to the site, but it's annoying that it keeps appearing.

I have tweaked how often the RSS task runs. Let me know if your experience changes.

It just happened as I tried to enter this thread.

Somewhat unrelated: I'm also going to throw in that I have a 10mb cable line (1mb downstream) and every other site is amazingly quick at loading, but for some reason PF is slow. It takes on average 30 seconds to load a page (it stays on a blank white screen for ages).

I'm now only getting the following error, the Magpie RSS bit has gone.

The error (above the PF title):
Code:

There is no error shown within the page itself anymore.

Once every few hours at most. It's got a lot better.
