The background process that imports your subscriptions was a little backed up. Should be all caught up now though, are you seeing your feeds?

Hi Ben. Feedbin looks awesome, great work so long.

I just migrated form Google Reader and paid the yearly subscription fee for feedbin. Unfortunately the import of my subscriptions is not working. I have the same issue as ignazioc described up in this thread.

Can you help us out here?

edit: opus... i was to fast. all feeds are showing up now... sorry

Be happy to help out. I'm not seeing any problems with importing in general, so here's what I recommend.

Try re-importing. If this is successful, you should get a message saying "Import has started."

If you never get an "Import has started." message, it could be a problem with the network you are on. I've come across cases where file uploads were disabled or blocked by the network. This could be the case if you're at work or on public wi-fi.

Try a different browser

If these don't work please send your subscriptions.xml files to support@feedbin.me and I can check if there is anything up with the file itself.

Also, since the import is done in the background, there will always be some delay between when you import and when all the feeds show up. This is generally less than a minute unless there is a lot of import traffic.

just subscribed to feedbin and am also having a problem importing from google reader. I get the Import has Started message, but never get any feed. Have been waiting for hours and my opml file is only 25K!! Please help.

Importer is a bit slow. If you like i write a ruby script to add your feed to feedbin through API service. This script is very basic but if you like you can collaborate. https://github.com/ignazioc/Reader2Feedbin
