What's the problem with the HEXUS RSS newsfeed? For weeks now it's displayed the same thing ... junk stuff like "fsdfsd" and "gfdsgsdgss" etc. Pure junk, with no updates.
What's the problem? Is it working for other people? Do I have my browser (Firefox) setup wrong for the HEXUS newsfeed? (I receive other RSS newsfeeds just fine.)
I just tried it, and I'm experiencing the same thing... first three entries are junk, and then a whole load of testing, and then something from January.

I used to have a working one (as recently as a couple of days ago) but I can't find the link anymore =(

whats an RSS newsfeed?
Yes, that's a helpful article. Thanks!Originally Posted by Tarffie
The article indicates that Hexus has three newsfeeds (not just one), which would explain why the one I tried (the main one, the one on the Hexus frontpage) does not work (I've tried it several times each day for the past week or two), while Tarffie had a working one.
The article gives two methods for setting up an RSS newsfeed -- an easy way, and a harder way. The easy way requires that the website aid the process by including the proper code in their HTML file, then Firefox identifies that code, and all you have to do is click on the tiny orange RSS button (in the bottom right corner of the Firefox browser) and everything gets setup automatically. ... However, that method doesn't work on the Hexus website. .............. !!!!!
The other method given in the article requires copying&pasting the RSS link into Firefox, via six or seven simples steps. Well, the RSS link given in that article (= "http://forums.hexus.net/external.php?type=rss&forumids=79", and displayed also in the screenshots of that article) DO NOT WORK!!!
What's up?
The RSS feeds on the forum are old and need to be reconfigured, I will check with Iain on this as I know he added some of his magical code to get this to work properly before and I will get it resolved.
Matt.
Please do not message me about Scan Free shipping, I no longer work for HEXUS.net
Cool cause I always like having maa Hexus RSS and its gone
Clicked on your sig kempez815 hoping to see more pics of that bird draped over your system.. sorely disappointed
I've mentioned the RSS feed issue to Iain again, and fingers crossed he'll get some time to look into it.
