For some reason when I input the generated URL for the syndication feed and input it into SharpReader I get this error

Quote:Error parsing RSS XML: Undefined root element: html

This is the generated URL for all syndicated forums

I have used a friends Mybb syndication feed and his works fine. Where is the error?

Thanks! Big Grin

The problem is that your board is closed. Because of that your reader gets a HTML page.
No, I've opened the board and I'm still getting it.
It's now saying

Quote:Error parsing RSS XML: There is an invalid character in the given encoding. Line 15, position 12

On the validation service I got this

Quote:his feed does not validate.

Your feed appears to be encoded as "utf-8", but your server is reporting "US-ASCII" [help]

Sorry, but we cannot try to find the reason for the error when your board is closed. Please do the following:

Open your board and go to http://www.thurrockparanormalforum.com/r...0&limit=15. Save the XML file and attach it to your post. After that you can close your board again.
Thanks for that,,, here it is

Can you do me a favour? Please open your rss.php and search for:
	$thread['postmessage'] = nl2br(htmlspecialchars_uni($thread['postmessage']));
Add after:
	$thread['postmessage'] = str_replace("&nbsp;&nbsp;", " ", $thread['postmessage']);
See if that works.
Michael! You are a genius! Big Grin Thank you!
