I added /rss to the end of SFDebris/index/php and a list that looks a LITTLE like an Rss feed comes up, but it also does not have a subscribe option. I live by my RSS feeds. Is this something you are going to drop as a feature? Or is it simply not working properly?
I'm subscribed and it still seems to be updating: http://sfdebris.com/tools/rss.xml
It would be great to have it added to the page headers properly so it's discoverable.
Thanks! I do wish there was a link as well.

There seems to be another issue with the RSS feed:

Reserved characters are not being replaced it seems, so you have invalid XML, breaking some some readers (like mine.) For instance, the "&" character here should be "&";

Code: Select all

There is a link though. (I don't know if it was added after the last few posts) On the right bar, there are images, "Forums" ; "Twitter - RSS - YouTube" ; "Reviews."

Well, I'm still having problems with the RSS feed. I can get to the feed through the link, but it won't populate to my reader. I use Live Bookmarks in Firefox and I constantly get the message 'Live Bookmark feed failed to load". I have no clue why this is happening. I'm getting notification through the Channel Awesome feed, once they post there.

I've fixed the coding error (sorry about that ampersand slipping through). Could you please clarify two things for me:

1) are you saying the link for RSS on the front page doesn't work, or that it's too well hidden to be seen? (So that I know which direction to focus on while trying to fix it)

2) is the subscription option not appearing, or just giving an error?

Went through and cleared out what's been fixed from my list and added what else I have found. Videos all seem to be still around, just some stills errors.

This doesn't really matter, or maybe just doesn't belong on this thread, but the opening theme plays twice on the "Dalek's Master Plan" video.
Or maybe I am going insane.

I think this is because it was once a part of a larger series that simply was split up and had the intro added to each video; but as this was the first in the larger series, it already had the intro.

Somewhat different error. In the last day, the frames that list other videos, either suggestions or the list to the side, don't seem to work for any page with a video. The main page and list pages for each series are fine, but I can't see the list or suggestions if I go into an actual video's page.

I'll look into this this weekend. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
