G’Day World feed borked??
I’ve been getting reports over the last week that the G’Day World RSS feed is sending out the data without any formatting so it appears as just one long string of text. Can anyone confirm or deny? It would be good to know if it’s happening across the board or just with certain readers. We have no idea what’s causing it yet. Apologies to those affected.

Yeah I’m getting a string of text on netvibes with ****** instead of images. The podcasts are coming through alright though. I wouldn’t have noticed if it weren’t pointed out. It doesn’t really affect readability.

mate they look like crap in Google Reader, I thought you were testing us or something!

Same as Michael. I also thought you were testing something.

yep, same as Miriam in my SharpReader, and no pretty pictures. The other TPN blogs are working fine for me.

I concur with Miram, netvibes is getting a string of unformatted text and is not showing links either.

can anybody tell me when this started happening?

Right now it looks fine in Netvibes, I haven’t seen anything weird aside from that “Testing Code” post from awhile ago.

Um November 13? Links don’t show up either (Google Reader)

I just thought you didn’t know how to use the enter key
It’s been like this at least a couple of weeks, probably longer.

I went back on Google Reader as far as I had patience for, and everything looks broken at least until last November (although I don’t remember it being that long since I noticed it; maybe Reader is showing the posts as they are in the feed now?). It is usually not that noticeable because most of your posts are short, so one doesn’t notice that the line breaks are missing. For longer posts, it’s quite obvious.

Google reader shows all one big block of text going way back till start March. I didn’t scroll back any further. And shows same on bloglines back to March 25 too.
The feed from extraordinary.thepodcastnetwork.com is fine, BTW.

I reckon formating dropped first on your Shout Outs post on the 20th March. Before then I had good formating in intraVnews, since then its been one long string with ****** for pictures.

Same for newsgator -just a blog of text with no carriage returns and lots of ******
April 24th, 2007 at 5:53 pm
seems fine on Klipfolio
April 24th, 2007 at 8:46 pm
the ****** isn’t actually pictures - I’ve actually been using them as page breaks for long posts!!
But yeah, the feed is obviously borked - probably from when we installed podpress a few weeks ago by the sound of it.
many apologies, will try to figure it out asap.

I have just used feedvalidator over the feed url http://gdayworld.thepodcastnetwork.com/category/podcast/feed and it returned as valid rss2?
April 25th, 2007 at 12:54 am
same in newsgator in outlook

I dunno what you did to your feeds, Cam, but somehow iTunes (Canada) has lost TPN_G’Day World and when I try to resubscribe, it seems to load and then it just disappears from my podcast window. Strangely enough, the most recent G’Day World #230 has appeared in my TPN_The Digital Photography Show feed. Very odd.

I was getting ugly feed from Bloglines the last couple days.

Confirm. I didn’t think to say anything…I guess it’s been a couple of weeks, or so.
