Mine feed reader stopped processing EDF again on 20th October. Did something change?


Here are the issues I can see:

1 - EDF is not responding to requests from certain IP addresses (validator.w3.org and probably feed readers) - *I suspect this is the issue with my RSS reader*


2 - validator.w3.org reports validation fails on these (they might cause an issue for some RSS parsers):

Using the element under RSS2.0 requires a valid email address (EDF RSS uses the EDF username)


3 - validator.w3.org suggests "In addition, interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations."

Remove &raquo (html '>>') from the forum descriptions. The front page shows 5 occurances of &raquo (html '>>') ie " Discuss life in London's East Dulwich. Talk about local restaurants, pubs, shops, services, transport, planning, it's up to you » "

Missing atom:link with rel="self" - https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/warning/MissingAtomSelfLink.html

Do you know the IPs of your RSS feeder?


We have blocked various countries from having access to the forum because of the amount of spam we get from them. I suspect that your validators/readers come from those countries. If you look at the link https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/rss.php you can see it works.
