Feeds Not Being Polled about temboz HOT 1 CLOSED

That's odd. Right off the bat, there are two things that could cause this to happen:
1: the database is locked for writing by another process
2: some uncaught exception is causing the polling thread to die

1. is fairly easy to verify: flag an article with the thumbs-up or thumbs down icon and check if it still reappears in the view. If yes, that means writes are not getting through, and you can use "lsof" on the database file to see what other process has it open.

2. is trickier: you can download and compile my threadframe module:
   http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2004/06/10/threadframe.html

Once you install it (e.g. by copying it into the temboz directory), you can produce the list of threads in temboz by loading /threads instead of /view. Thread 1 should be the one that accepts connections, thread 2 the one that handles the periodic updates.

Otherwise, set the debug flag, bring the polling interval down to 60 seconds or so, run temboz with standard output and standard error redirected to a log file, and search for a backtrace there. There isn't any privacy-threatening information there apart from the list of feeds you read, so you can email it to me if you can't interpret it.

What OS are you running Temboz on?
