RSS feeds re-added! Stay up to date on new manga, anime, and reviews

[Drahken]

Uh... The feedburner links are in the ###.html format. This is a function of the feedburner site and/or the feed itself, not any specific browser.

edit: Upon looking at the xml file itself, feedburner is apparently reading the guid element as the link.
Another, more important question, is why the feed even includes those ###.html links in the first place, when they don't work?? This one for example: http://www.anime-planet.com/manga/367.html

Also, why does the main link for the manga updates rss point to the anime section??

<link>http://www.anime-planet.com/anime/</link>

edit2: The one browser on my system that I can get to use feeds natively (I never use feeds) is orca (a custom frontend, with ffv3 as a backend). It displays the correct link when using the xml file directly, but still gets the ###.html one from the feedburner page. Look at the address in the status bar (bottom left) in these 2 pics:

Bottomline: The solution is pretty simple. Rip out the absolutely useless, pointless, nonfunctional ###.html links in the guid element & replace them with a copy of the real link from the "link" element. Then it won't matter which element the feed reader uses. Since the ###.html link serve no purpose anyway, yanking them out won't hurt anything.

(just copying what we talked on irc)

We're talking here about two bugs.

#1 feedburner fetches the guid and overrides the link with it
#2 some browser (versions) seem to use the guid instead the link.
(the specification says: "There are no rules for the syntax of a guid ... If the guid element has an attribute named isPermaLink with a value of true, the reader may assume that it is a permalink to the item, that is, a url that can be opened in a Web browser, that points to the full item described by the <item> element." -- RSS 2.0 Specification (RSS 2.0 at Harvard Law))

I have Windows XP, I tired on FireFox and IE8, same deal on both. First time I've ever subscribed.

Edit: (Opps, didn't see the second page, guess I didn't need to post. Thanks for fixing this!)

[sothis]

id prefer people use feedburner as then i can see stats (and then if the name changes people dont have broken feeds - so please remove those links) - but give me until tonight and itll be fixed. the guid thing shouldlt be set up like that.

Works today! Thanks!
