If you have a look in Firefox you will see that the dates have a small '?' between them.

This is a classic case of the encoding that the date settings are saved under do not match that of the displayed page, those the web browser doesn't know how to render the character, in this case the space.

You need to ensure that your forum and RSS feed are running under the same character set, being XML RSS feeds like to be using UTF-8.

By resubmitting the date and time settings in the admin area under the correct character encoding it will then be saved correctly in the database, then when displayed in the RSS Feed the browser knows how to render the character.

I'm confused on your reponse?  The forum time matches the server time but what options do I need to change?

RSS Feeds use XML which are quite stricted on how they are formatted.

Looking at your RSS Feed the problem is with dates. It seems that the date settings have been submitted in a different page encoding to what you are presently using on the forum.

One way to try and fix this problem is to go to your admin area and go to the time and date settings and resubmit these settings under the present forum encoding which appears to be set to UTF-8

So I upgraded to version 9.08 and everything seems to be working except for my RSS feeds?  They work fine in Firefox but when I try to pull the link up on IE 7.0 it blows up?

Any idea's?
