If your feed is not properly set up according to web standards, then maybe try running it through the RSS feed validator and see what the results are. Your feed interprets alright in my Firefox browser, though.

http://validator.w3.org/feed/

If fixing the feed doesn't work, you could perhaps use either http://www.feedburner.com or http://www.feedblendr.com to 'mask' the feed with a different address, and the mask would most likely give you the icon you're looking for.

I have had some feed compatibility errors when using vbulletin as well when adding third-party RSS feeds to my forums (on 3.6.8), but with vbulletin supporting ATOM when 3.7 is out, i'm hoping more RSS feed incompatibilities are fixed.

To get the RSS icon to show up in your browser, put this code between the <head> tags of your index.html

<LINK REL="alternate" TITLE="Grand Theft Central RSS" HREF="http://www.grandtheftcentral.com/forum/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=56" TYPE="application/rss+xml" />

If that code doesn't make the logo show up in the address bar, it might be because it doesn't have a direct link to the .rdf / rss file of your feed, in which case i would recommend just masking the address with feedblendr or whatever to fix it (providing that the mask created an RSS address with a direct link to the RDF file your browser needs in order to add the logo. So your code would end up being something similar to this:

<LINK REL="alternate" TITLE="Grand Theft Central RSS" HREF="http://www.feedblendr.com/rssfeedofgtc.rdf" TYPE="application/rss+xml" />

I don't know if this will help you since i'm speculating on the problem, but it's the best advice i can offer, so I hope this helps!

Good luck!
