EXACTLY!! :D


I have a Random Quote RSS feed that I only update every 1440 minutes and have a post made from it. One post...

My Mods are stoked,too!! I had a seperate forum for all the news posts and made them clean it up before!! :lol:

I am guessing from this little info that your permissions in your UserGroups aren't set.

The buttons my post was talking about, I tried to edit it after I posted it, but that is when vbulletin.org/.com went down, were the Talk about it buttons on the right portion of the above image.

In my usergroup manager, all the options for AboutToday are set to yes for the administrators group, which my login into the board is using.

The registered users group has them all set to yes except

-Can edit all events
- Can view disabled about today
- Can load events from file
- Can force RSS update.

I keep getting random errors when I try to add a feed.... The error is "XML error: Invalid character at line 20" and "XML error: Invalid character at line 76"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

Pretty much how mine are set up... the options you need are here:

AdminCP->AboutToday->RssFeeds


In the Add feeds area, third option from the bottom you will see a box where you can put a forum number in. Set that to the forum you want each feed to be posted in. That will cause the buttons to appear so members can post them.

You can use the Edit Feed Area to change this for the feeds you are already running. :D


Let me know if that is what you meant.

That did it.. Thank you much.

You have no idea how good it feels to be able to actually help someone else around here! Glad it worked.

I am getting the same errors all the sudden. It worked good for a day or two and now I'm just getting these errors.

Thanks for helping out! I was off-line for a couple days so I really appreciate it!

This kind of error always indicates a problem with the RSS Feed itself. I've struggled to develop a good way to handle this. For now, if you know what feed is making the error, copy the feed url into your web browser and see what happens. If you don't know what feed is causing the problem, I'm afraid you'll need to do that with each feed's url. What you SHOULD see in the browser is something like the included image.

You should NOT see a normal looking web page.

They don't look like normal pages..... Here are the two that don't seem to work:
