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.

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.
