RSS failed to load

[Ned_Flanders]

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. :?

 

[steve_sa]

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

 

[Ned_Flanders]

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"

 

[steve_sa]

Ok, I see it now. Will be fixin'

 

[steve_sa]

fixed.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

Negative :?

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

 

[steve_sa]

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.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

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

 

[steve_sa]

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.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

So you get the empty list now?

 

[steve_sa]

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.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

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

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

 

[steve_sa]

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.

When I click the RSS button I get this...

[code:1:afea726358]The XML page cannot be displayed

[Ned_Flanders]

Ok, I'm with you.

I do the same and get:

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

I get the following Error:

 

[steve_sa]

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

 

[steve_sa]

Fixed, please check again.

 

[RichPLS]

Now I get this with IE 6

[steve_sa]

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.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

Working!

 

[steve_sa]

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