The web service for resizing images in Simple RSS Reader has stopped working - I think it happened today or yesterday. It turns out that the firm that provided the service, Mobify, has been taken over. A great pity - I used the service in other cases where I wanted a small version of an image from the website, it was just a question of inserting an extra bit of URL in front of the image URL.

I wonder if JoomlaWorks know of an alternative?

Thanks for the quick update. The new resizing method works well. When I get time I'll investigate the other improvements.
