I am trying to use the javascript for RSS feeds per the manual, however, my feed does not appear to work even though I have everything turned on in vbulletin options. Any advise welcome, this is killing me today! :P

Ahhh it appears I was getting a 'server too busy' error. It's working now.


However, related to this, I'd still like know why these feeds are not 'valid' when I enter them in validators like:

http://feedvalidator.org/

Or feedburner, etc..

This is not RSS! This is JS (JavaScript) output!

Sorry, I was thinking of the RSS,RSS2,XML versions. These do not come up as valid.

This feed is valid, but may cause problems for some users. We recommend fixing these problems:
