Title: Accept invalid RSS feeds, if they are actually readable
Post by: Anastasie on February 20, 2013, 11:43:27 AM

Code: [Select]

Link removed in case it was spam

I'm trying to add the above feed to my site, but it keeps saying invalid feed.  Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I'm using SimplePortal 2.3.5

Your post contains a link with no Simple Portal or SMF installation so could be judged spam.

Sorry if approval was delayed. Also, I would try support rather than posting in bugs.

It's not spam - it's the developer post tracker for everquest 2.

I'm trying to add the rss feed to the website for my Everquest2 raiding guild.

Can anyone tell whats wrong here, or suggest a link to a place where I can check my files and settings to see why the RSS is not working

This may be better asked at the SMF site, as it's more a support issue for the forum, not the portal.

I was able to update your feed by updating one of your more recent posts.

There could be an issue with the way the feed is updating, so I'd like to get some additional information from you about how you are creating your posts.

The feed is not valid.  This is kind of a technicality -- the problem is an invalid email address, which the reader might not care about at all.  Getting SimplePortal's RSS reader to figure out which invalid feeds are actually readable might be useful to forum communities.

This is a feature request:

SimplePortal RSS feed reader distinguish between invalid RSS feeds that are readable and those which are unreadable.
