Are the forum RSS feeds broken again?

W3C validator says the RSS feed - for example for this forum - 'does not validate'.
Thunderbird also complains that the feed is invalid.
Jonathan.

The feed looks okay to me in a web browser, but I'm not using an actual reader or trying to do any validation on it.
There have been a few reports of this in the past though:

ITunes Mac App Store Affiliate RSS Feeds Broken ?

Looking at the affiliate RSS Feeds produced by Apple, Many of the backgrounds, instead of being transparent or at least white, are totally black.
I have no idea if it is just my Mac being silly, but I don't think it is :/
Check out the problem here: feed://itunes.apple.com/us/rss/topmacapps/limit=10/xml
I will also insert an image to show you what it looks like:
The reason I am concerned is that I am currently running a "Top Mac Apps" section on my site that gets its rankings from these feeds, and recently most of the backgrounds of the icons are becoming black. It just look ugly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I am certain that this is not "normal".
Only in the past few weeks, the black backgrounds have begun to slowly phase in, with an ever increasing number of broken backgrounds.
However I do agree that there is not much we can do about this at the moment, (unless you work for Apple of course).
I hope they fix it soon.

Downloaded Podcast RSS Episode does not stay in the original RSS feed.

Hello,
I just upgraded to iTunes ver. 9 on a windows XP PC. Before the upgrade my podcasts would download into the original RSS podcast feed created when I entered the initial URL. Since the update every time the new podcast’s is downloaded they dissapear from the original RSS feed and become an episode all alone within the podcast window. I want them to stay within the feed like before. I have spent hours trying to make changes under the info to try to make the podcast stay inside the original podcast folder with no luck. Before this upgrade the podcast downloads worked exactly the way I wanted them to, but since the upgrade I find it difficult to manage my selections. Is this a bug or is there some way to make the podcast group the way they used to? Any help would be appreciated. I am a new iTunes user who plans to move to the iphone in December so the configuration of iTunes is critical to this decision as I plan to synchronize my selections.
Thanks for any help you may provide!

i have the exact same problem... already made a post about it as well. please keep me posted if you find anything, ill do the same.

Audio and Video on the sme RSS feed

I'm trying to place audio and video podcasts (MP3 and MP4) on the same rss feed. The feed validates. When I do audio only, it works fine. When I add a video to the feed, only the video displays in iTunes.
Do I have to run two seperate feeds?
Thanks

You can't play both the audio and the video simultaneously, you'll need to merge them.

What is the best rss feed reader for my mac?

what is the best rss feed reader for my mac? I have a macbook pro, my OS is Mountain Lion, and browser is firefox. Thanks

What's best is a matter of personal preference. Search Google or the App Store and read the reviews.

Forum RSS feeds log me out of their site

Greetings,
I'm trying to figure out how to fix this...
If I'm logged in to a forum, and click on the RSS button in the Safari address bar, I can read the RSS feed, then clicking back on the RSS button again brings me back to the forum logged out...
This also happens if I'm logged in to a forum, and try to read it's RSS feed in Mail.
I'm boggled.. any ideas?

If they left an activation lock on the device, you can't fix it but may be able to get a refund for the iPhone.

Safari issues with at least two sites and RSS Feeds broken

Greetings all. This is my first time posting on here, I'm also a new(er) Apple user. Finally switched from the dark side. Love the Macbook, but after so many years with a PC, I am definitely not within my element on some things. Here are my two issues:
1. On Safari (and Firefox incidentally) if I go to msnbc.com or yahoo.com I get a dysfunctional appearance. msnbc.com simply doesn't load except the outer frames. The inner content doesn't load at all. They have redesigned their site and I still only get the outer frame from the old design. On yahoo.com, it simply gives me a very bland, generic front page and tells me to upgrade to a more current browser. I'm running the most current Safari. Don't know what's wrong. I get some challenges on some other sites i visit, but nothing specific comes to mind - except maybe flash driven applications - heavy flash. They run slow or not at all.
2. I love(d) RSS feeds in Safari. All of a sudden they stopped working. It still shows unread messages - which I cannot clear - and will not load any new messages. If I try to read a feed, it gives me a error page - similar to a non-existent page/link. Not sure how to fix this.
With the first issue, being relatively new to Apple, etc, I honestly don't know if I selected some weird setting unknowingly that is causing my problems or not, etc. Don't know if I caught a virus, bug, etc. Wouldn't know how to find out if I did.
Anyone that is patient, intelligent with Apple and doesn't mind helping out a stupid new Apple user. :o) VERY MUCH APPRECIATED IN ADVANCE!

All companies are out there to make money, however much they try to disguise the fact.
GoldenShoes is partly right. However, not all sites are deliberately designed to just work in IE and Firefox; a lot of developers simply don't realise their code (or parts of it) is not functional in other browsers because at least 90% of the world's population use IE or FF. In other cases, it's just not economically viable to cater to such a tiny percent of the Internet-using population (besides, what would all those people that want to be 'different' do?!
You might want to try contacting those companies and telling them of your problems - after all, they are losing business by doing this and they may be unaware.
The other part of the argument is that FF, and IE especially, let a lot more 'bad', invalid code though to cater to their users. Opera and Safari don't really do this as much, and there is a lot of cross-browser incompatibility.

Flash Deal Of The Day RSS Feed Reader

I need to design a flash widget for MySpace that reads an rss feed and just shows the latest entry. I have seen flash rss feed widgets before but they show all the listings. I need it to check every day at 1:00am for the new one and load it automatically from a third party site (feedburner). I have some knowledge of flash but none in actionscript. I use the Creative Suite CS4. I am a fast learner so please explain in depth so I get the concept.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Ok I went through the tutorial in the video and everything seems to be working alright except I need to include links.
Here is a portion of theXML file that is read:

The AS code just loads the description when clicked on. I need it to include the link located in the link tags.
Here is the As code:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
lb.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, itemChange);
function itemChange(e:Event):void
ta.text = lb.selectedItem.data;
var xml:XML;
function onLoaded(e:Event):void
xml = new XML(e.target.data);
var il:XMLList = xml.channel.item;
for(var i:uint=0; i<il.length(); i++)
lb.addItem({data:il.description.text()[i],
      label:il.title.text()[i]});
loader.load(new URLRequest("http://feeds2.feedburner.com/SizzleTwist"));
I want it to display the description then the blog link. As I mentioned I am just beginning with action script so I have no iead what to do.

HT1819 Why are my old rss feeds not updating to new URL?

RE: older iTunes podcast links broken after Squarespace 6 upgrade to new URL
In the content manager, under blog settings, I have updated my URL in configure blog --> syndication by clicking on the change your feed URL to the new squarespace URL for version 6.
I have no problem in that any newly created content is showing up and working in iTS (iTunes Store) but a problem in that the older files under the same folder (directory?) that are also assigned the newly updated URL do not show up.
The older ones appear in iTS as the old squarespace URL still AND now they do not work at all.
Is there a difference in lag time in updating previously posted podcasts and freshly created ones that live in the same folder?
The old URL podcast name in iTS even has a different "title" name.
It has been about 12 hours so perhaps the old ones will follow suit if I am patient.
It just seems odd the news ones living next to the old ones are already working and posting on the iTS under the new URL while the old ones have quit working altogether.

I know where the feed button is located, and I found each feed that I subscribed to. But there is no way to know which feed contains new content, and is therefore useless. As they are listed now, they are the same as any other bookmark, and I would have to open each one to see if a blog was updated. In IE, each blog title turns to bold print when it was been updated. Is this option available in Firefox?

What are the "forum alternatives"?

So if Adobe really does start to come around and consider the fact that this "Jiveware" is not working out to everyone's satisfaction, has anyone discussed or researched the alternatives yet?
Obviously they have had their own internal research but it doesn't mean we can't help and make suggestions based on well functioning examples of high traffic forums that we may have seen on other sites.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_forum_software
Wiki has a section here (if the link works) with "subarticles" that contains ASP, PHP, and "Other" forum software comparisons.
It's not like Adobe is the only company that has a long list of high volume forums out there--what do others use? I'm sure it's not Jiveware.

They need to forget about pandering to youtube-facebook-twitter-games-playing youngsters with short attention spans. They need to consider what the most valuable members of the forums want and need - those people are the ones to nurture, not the ones who arrive in a panic and don't much care what the place looks like as long as they can get rapid, authoritative help.
The people to consult should be easy to identify, and they are by no means all 'Community Experts'. Whoever makes these decisions should eat humble pie and find out what it would take to get back the real experts who have left. If that has to be NNTP, so be it. If it means speed, reliability, permanent log-ins, stripped-down-efficient-speedy-interface, go back to where you left off - concentrate on that.
I'm not saying that those who mainly ask are not important, of course they are - they are customers and it's important to attract/retain them.
But unless the unpaid 'staff' are in place, ready and willing to answer a lot of questions as patiently and accurately as they always have, the place will just fall apart. It will become a place where link-harvesters and drive-by posters play around, giving each other half-arsed answers and squabbling over points.
I'm definitely not one of the 'elite' of course - so my only real suggestion is to ask the people who matter most, and DO WHAT THEY SAY.
