I have my rss feed pointed (http://news.google.ca/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=ca&hl=en&q=metallica&cf=all&output=rss) which in turns post in my news forum.
I'm getting all these acii errors see below, any idea how to fix this problem?
thanks
There are threads on vbulletin.com where problems like this were discussed, like this one: https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/284762-Issue-with-google-Rss-feed-output?highlight=google+rss+feed+problem
I don't know if anyone said for sure whether it's a problem with google or vbulletin, although it seems like a number of people said they have multiple feeds and only the google feed is a problem.
Anyway, one solution would be to set the forum to allow HTML, then set "Convert HTML to BB Code" to "No" in the feed manager. However, you don't want to do that unless no one else can post in that forum (except maybe admins). (I suppose even posting HTML from google's feed might be relying on google to ensure that it doesn't contain anything malicious).

Thanks dude, I tried what you said but it didn't seem to make a difference.
