I have seen a difference in RSS feed page RSS_topic_feed.asp on my website and wwf. Here on wwf we can see "Subscribe to RSS Fee now with icons of Google, Yahoo and Pluck etc. Whereas on my own forum I can only see a simple page without these icons. Whats the reason?

This all depends on what browser you use and if your browser decides to use it's own built in XLST stylesheet to render the RSS XML

Thank you, but I posted this topic after viewing wwf page and my own page (on localhost) in same browser i.e. FireFox 2.0. I am still confused why this difference is? Confused

I'm not quite sure why Firefox acts like it does, in Firefox 2.0 on this site now I see the Firefox built in XSLT stylesheet instead of the forum one that includes the subscribe links to Plunk etc.

In older versions of browsers like Firefox 1 and IE 6 they didn't have XSLT Stylesheets for RSS Feeds so unless the web master built one the RSS Feed would be shown as XML.

IE 7 and Firefox 2 come with a built in XSLT Stylesheet for RSS Feeds, these built in stylesheets often override the web masters, or in this case, Web Wiz Forums, own built in XSLT Stylesheet. How it behaves seems to be very unpredictable.
