Patience, we are having other site related problems atm. The news feed is way down on the list comparatively. Asking a little nicer might help too.

Lion7718 will become famous soon enough
There are also 2 different feeds, have you tried the other one.
I know one is just news, the other is the forum, but since the News also posts a link in the forum..it might work. The Klip I use works fine. It is News Only

Actually thing is I tried to use the PCTT news feed frm Feed Reader and also tried to open the xml doc in Firebird...

Both were not able to read the XML but Klipfolio seems to do it....

I think the problem is feed trying to generate a hyphen and space before the title it is creating some problem......That is my best guess....

Hey guys are you trying these feeds and not the klip feeds

News:
http://www.pctechtalk.com/sitefeeds/rss/pctt_news.xml

Forums:
http://www.pctechtalk.com/sitefeeds/rss/pctt_forums.xml

If they are the ones not working I will take a look at it, maybe they need to be rdf.

The dash after the title tag seems to do it... however an XML capable editor, which loads and validates to the corresponding DTD says there are no errors in this stream...

I had problems with that dash with trillian, I was using it so I could have categories basically, I will check into it then. I know the feeds worked when I teied them with trillian but I will do some more testing.

Ok guys, I need feedback to let me know if it is working for yas now, I know the klip works but I need to know about the xml feeds linked above. The big problem when I wrote the code that creates the feeds is I am creating 4 seperate feeds, 2 for klip and 2 for rss/xml. What was happening on the xml side of things is the - before the title was trying to be recognized as a css, then if there were any characters that aren't ISO-8859-1 in the description or title it would give parsing errors. I believe I have both feeds fixed now and I have validated them against W3C XML validator.

Well I just tested also by opening the urls in both mozilla 1.4 and firebird 0.6 and they are both viewable with no errors. I guess one of the next jobs after the site is upgraded is making the entire site XHTML 1.1 compliant. That's going to take a while LMAO.
