Is it something I did, or a bug?

I add an RSS feed as a live bookmark in Firefox, click it and get an error saying Live Bookmark failed to load. :?

Ned, pls give me the url where you attempted to do it, and any other particulars needed to test this.

In firefox, look at the address bar right hand side. There will be an orange icon, clicking that will bring up a list of RSS feeds. Add one in firefox, then click the newly created bookmark and you will get an error saying "Live Bookmark failed to load"

Reply to Ned_Flanders

Ok, I see it now. Will be fixin'

Reply to steve_sa

Negative :?

Click the Community Tab, then add the live bookmark for a sub topic - i.e Other.

Reply to Ned_Flanders

I went there: http://forumz.tomshardware.com/community/

I clicked on the orange RSS icon at the bottom right (FireFox 1.06), and it added "Other" with no problem.

Reply to steve_sa

I'm using Firefox 1.5 and after your fix I just get a blank dropdown menu from the RSS feed.

Reply to Ned_Flanders

I downloaded FF 1.5, and can no longer see the live bookmark icons. If you still see them, let me know.. so someone tell me what is going on.

Reply to steve_sa

So you get the empty list now?

Reply to Ned_Flanders

I get no brown live bookmarks icon at bottom right anymore. Can you go to a page (elsewhere) that works, and let me know. At least I can check it that way.

Reply to steve_sa

You mean the RSS images? If so, are you colour blind?...but seriously?

Edit: This RSS page works, so it's definatly our problem

Reply to Ned_Flanders

Ok, I am here: http://forumz.tomshardware.com/community/

I see that they have changed how the little live bookmark icon displays. Before it was showing at bottom right of the window. Now I see that it dispalys next to the URL at the top. So in any case, I click on it at the top (to the right of the url), and I get three options. I choose 'Other' and it works just fine for me.

Ok, I'm with you.

Also, if I click on the links outline in my pic below:

I get the following Error:

Reply to Ned_Flanders

Ok, I see that once a live bookmark is established, the content is empty.

Reply to steve_sa

Fixed, please check again.

Rich,

That is quite all right. You need to use an RSS reader (which is included in FireFox) to see the content as RSS feed.

Reply to steve_sa

Good, thanks for helping me find and debug the problem, Ned :wink:
