Hello all,
I have a vB3 site that I was importing RSS feed from Craigslist. This past July it quit working and I cannot seem to make it feed. I've tried placing the URL directly copied from the address line (when the Craigslist RSS page is shown) and I have tried copying the link given ON the RSS page. They have slightly different syntax.

The line of code on the RSS page is here :
<channel rdf:about="https://appleton.craigslist.org/search/sss?format=rss&query=camping%20tents%20stove&sort=rel">

I have entered everything in between the ""s and get this error :
XML Error: Not well-formed (invalid token) at Line 2

Any thoughts on what I need to do to get this working again? It worked flawlessly for 7 years.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn't work either.

Have you done any changes to your server? Willing to bet it's a PHP error being thrown that's causing it.

I have not changed anything on my server. My host (hostgator) may have and I am unaware of it? Suggestions on what I should check on or ask? Pretty much a rookie at most of this.

Thanks
