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.

    • No, you didn’t write the article. But unless you’re a Telegraph subscriber, you haven’t read the article either. Have you read it? The psychopath Telegraph lives behind a (rubber) paywall but using this kind of sensationalist, accusatory headline gets it traction on social media. The headline becomes more important than the article; many will see it and some will take it as a statement of fact. And it will be shown on endless “let’s take a look at the papers” segments on TV and radio for 12 hours or more in every news day. And so, a tiny number of reactionary, right wing hacks has a vastly disproportionate influence on the popular conversation despite the papers they work for being bought by almost nobody these days. 
    • Trelco are wonderful. James has been super reliable and they are a gem to have around us locally. Trust them completely, will give honest advice and have very fair pricing for all small work around the house or bigger plumbing projects. I've used them multiple times and they will always find the time to help, even when they are busy they will pop round to make sure we aren't stranded which is a nice touch.
    • "attack on the tax", I posted a link, how was that an attack? I didn't write the article, so how was that an attack on the proposed tax?  Are you now saying what can and cannot be posted, when did you become Admin(NOT).
