Trouble with the RSS feed

Post by bernie » Thu Dec 30, 2004 10:14 pm

When I try to set up the RSS feed for the forum, I get the error:

Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks! /bernie\

Yeah I get that too.

Note that with a different font, it's pointing at the ampersand ... which is probably the real character it's complaining about.

Actually, I think in the proper fixed-width font the arrow was pointing at the space right in front of the & but regardless, the RSS feed doesn't quite work...:)

The problem is the error I posted up top. When I try to access the
RSS USL, I get:

[where the caret points at the 'space' before the &]

This with IE6 on XP/Pro/SP2.

Odd. I just tried it with IE6 on XP with SP2 and it works fine. Can you try clearing your cache and trying again?

Ah, that fixed it. I haven't a clue what the problem was, but I'm linked up with the RSS feed now... something in my cache was apparently messing up the XML parse... Thanks!
