dcraig Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 My RSS reader stopped getting EDF updates on 30 July. Has something been changed / is there a new URL or is it something wrong my end with Feedly?

Administrator Administrator Posted August 11, 2020 Administrator Share Posted August 11, 2020 Hi, it should be fine, nothing's changed and if you click on the link https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/rss.php you can see it's still there and working.

beigemartin Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I am having the same issue as of the same date. I am using an alternative reader though, so it sounds like the change is at the EDF end.

dcraig Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 Still getting same problem - anyone else? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/260226-rss-feed/#findComment-1444221 Share on other sites More sharing options...
beigemartin Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Still failing here. The url hasn't changed and it works from my machines. I suspect the EDF site is blocking Feedly's IP addresses (as well as IFTTT's). This happened to me once before and the admin here removed the blocks.

Administrator Administrator Posted September 3, 2020 Administrator Share Posted September 3, 2020 Thanks for letting us know, we can't figure out what's going on. We're sill trying to work out why emails aren't getting out to people.

PSJ Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I'm glad others are asking this question! Only realized today I wasn't getting updates recently.I don't quite understand these things but the feed doesn't seem to be valid?https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eastdulwichforum.co.uk%2Fforum%2Frss.php Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/260226-rss-feed/#findComment-1463114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
beigemartin Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 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 » (html '>>') from the forum descriptions. The front page shows 5 occurances of » (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 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/260226-rss-feed/#findComment-1463209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Administrator Posted October 27, 2020 Administrator Share Posted October 27, 2020 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.

beigemartin Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Hi Admin,Agree the RSS feed works when not blocked - I just included the validation response for completeness. I will try and find out the IP of my reader (it's cloud based so might not be easy :-( ) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/260226-rss-feed/#findComment-1463331 Share on other sites More sharing options...
