Trouble reading RSS with Google Reader

Hi everyone,

I like to use Google Reader for all my feeds. It works perfectly, except for the David Allen newsgroups. When I click on a post in my Reader window, I just get a generic page from David Allen. Then I have to choose which forum, and try to find the thread where the post is located.

Clicking the post title in Reader does not get me directly into the forums page, let alone the right thread or the right post within a thread.

On a (possibly) related note, I have found the site frequently just won't load, as though the whole site is down.

Does anyone else have these problems? Anyone found a fix?

I'm using a Mac, and Safari as my web browser, if that matters.

Thanks,

Rachelle
 
I've noticed the above scenario through Google Reader on posts marked as "Members Only" - I think that must be a pay service. For those of us who just have a free username/password for the GTD Public Forum like me I've been able to get to the other posts just fine (like this one). Not sure why it shows both in the RSS feed.
 
Thanks for your replies.

Yes, I think the members feed is the main problem. When I click on a post from the members' feed, I get this:

showthread.php


Then I click on The David Allen Company, and I log in to access the newsgroups. I only have a free username & password, but I thought this gave me access to the members only feed. I believe I can unsubscribe from the members' only feed to solve the problem.
