Mine did not work either, looking at the code on the RSS_Topic_Feed.asp page line 236

Original code
<WebWizForums:feedURL><% = Replace(strForumPath, "http://", "") %>RSS_topic_feed.asp<% If intForumID <> 0 Then Response.Write("?FID=" & intForumID) %></WebWizForums:feedURL>

Repaired code
<WebWizForums:feedURL><% = Replace(strForumPath, "http://", "") %>/RSS_topic_feed.asp<% If intForumID <> 0 Then Response.Write("?FID=" & intForumID) %></WebWizForums:feedURL>

Looking at the code you will see a red backslash that I added to the code and now the RSS works fine.

I am having a prolem with the RSS fed using IE.
I get the following error

An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'http://www.bhpc.org.uk/forum8/RSS_topic_feed.asp...

   <title>Website : What

The URL causing this is http://www.bhpc.org.uk/forum8/RSS_topic_feed.asp?FID=20
 and appears to be caused by the ' being handled incorrectly. In Firefox the ' is replaced with a ? and it works fine.

I also made some changes to the file so it would work on the .com domain.

I plan on writing a new site soon and once the change over happens I will be dropping the old .com domain name and just have the .info domain name for access to the site, so maybe worth updating your links.

I think I can see the problem now.

It looks like you are using the old .com domain name, if you use the webwiz.net domain name it should work.

This may also explain your access denied problem in IE as I guess it can not parse an XSLT file from a different domain.

It probably would be best to update to use the .info domain name anyway as it has been 4 years now since moving to the .info domain so will be making the .com into a redirect to the .info which should also help in search engine placement.

http://forums.webwiz.net/RSS_post_feed.asp?TID=18978  validated in my feed check and looks fine.  In IE 6.0 SP 2  i still get the same error.  when i look at it in Firefox 1.0.4 the content of the page displays but is all jumbled up and also shows the html.  I suspect the problem is on my end, either with my browsers or because i'm going thru a proxy, a surf patrol nanny and a firewall.   i need to try it at home and see what happens.  i'll also go check for updates.

I think that sometimes posts can course the web browsers parser to not parse the XSLT file correctly and course the issue.

What I will have to do is to try a findout why then create some filters to remove parts of the posts that course this issue, but this may take sometime to get the filters fully refined.

A little update on this,
The RSS feed is now working on IE6 and FF from a direct click on the orange RSS buttonThumbs Up

Earlier on it was only the main page RSS that wasn't working, with all others functioning fine. I made no changes at this end.

Hope this info helps.

I've just looked at the error message again that you got, and it looks like it saying 'Access Denied' on the XSLT Stylesheet file which suggests that some settinsg on your PC or browser are preventing your browser from running the XSLT stylesheet.

Again, this will not prevent the RSS Feed from working.

However, if you could change your browser settings to allow the XSLT stylesheet to be parsed I would be very interested to know so that I can advise others with a similar issue.
