It appears that the RSS feeds are down. Obviously I can still get to the rest of the site, but Firefox's Live Bookmark feature is coming up with "Blank" instead. Other bookmarks are correctly updating. When I try to browse to the correct location, I time out. Started around noonish today, EST, I think. Before I wiped away my MetaFilter list by requesting the bookmark, the most recent story was the one about Ellen Feiss. I know this is happening to MeTa, MeFi, and AskMe.

For some reason the Ask Metafilter RSS feed quit working for me a few days ago. I'm reading it through Bloglines and the last post which shows up is from November 22, 2006 at 6:54am. Is anyone else seeing this issue?

Er, is there a problem with the AskMe RSS feed? I haven't gotten anything in at least two days, despite MeFi and MeTa feeds working fine.

I'm viewing in Google Reader, if that matters.

Just to keep you up to date, the AskMe RSS feed was invalid at

Sigh. I think the ask.metafilter rss is borked again.

I get this message:

XML parsing failed: syntax error (Line: 1, Character: 0)

with no updates for the last 3+ hours. Not that I'm addicted or anything.

Is it just me, or is the AskMe RSS Feed reported to be broken on BlogLines more often than not?

"The feed URL returns a page that does not look like an RSS feed. This can be caused by the feed URL being incorrect, or it can be caused by a configuration issue with the server hosting the feed. If this error continues, you should check the feed URL and, if it is wrong, subscribe to the correct URL."

Is the AskMeFi RSS feed intermittently dropping questions?

Matt. Yo MATT. Askmefi rss is borked again. I think.

Is anyone else getting "Connection Failure" from the AskMe RSS feed?

AskMe RSS feed isn't working. It's linking to MeFi.

The metafilter rss feed is broken. It just gives a 301 redirect to itself.

The MeFi RSS code escapes the ampersand in this post. It shouldn't.

It's broke again. The Ask.Mefi RSS isn't updating.

the XML yields:

XML feed error?
posted by jonson on Aug 17, 2005 - 5 comments

The main Metafilter RSS feed is currently not well-formed XML, which is causing some odd displays in different feed readers. The feed validator says "invalid token", and my best guess is that it's the unescaped greater-than in this post's title.

View my threads not working for anyone else? Just on the Metafilter feed; AskMe and MeTa working fine. I keep getting a CFQUERY error & a timeout.

Is there a problem with MetaFilter's main feed at the moment? No new posts have come up in my feed reader for over twelve hours. This is the first time it has happened for me too.

Did the new AskMe ponies break AskMe RSS? I get invalid XML errors in T-Bird. Browsing to the XML file results in broken badness.

Consecutive non-spaces in MeFi descriptions. See the title tag (the repeating dollar signs)? That gets translated into a headline in the MeFi RSS feeds. It's currently breaking the layout on my RSS page. Can we please not do this?

The MeFi atom feed is throwing a parsing error.
posted by rhapsodie on Feb 9, 2005 - 13 comments

How about a proper RSS 2.0 feed? The existing .91 feed doesn't provided authors or even datestamops. Also, the existing ATOM feed doesn't validate properly and doesn't work in the two RSS readers I use (NetNewsWire and Thunderbird).

The MetaFilter front page RSS feed seems to have become deformed. It has something to do with "Soup & Old Clothes?"
posted by mmahaffie on Dec 28, 2004 - 3 comments

The RSS Feed appears to have been fried by a rogue ampersand. Surround the title text with CDATA tag, perhaps? XML gurus?

Does anyone else use the rss feed? I've tried to use it with a news ticker with little success. [more]

something seems to be amiss with the metafilter RSS feed. it's well-formed, but only shows the channel data, no items.
