It's working fine as far as I can see.

 

If you go to https://forum.thaivisa.com/rss/1-thai-visa-daily-digest.xml/ you'll see it's got entries from today.

Nope.  That's exactly what you'd expect to see.  Absolutely fine.  (The "error message" at the top is misleading.)

 

The problem is probably with your laptop software/configuration.

You should see something like this

 

 

As @Oxx already said probably software/configuration error

If you are using Firefox get this extension

I'm guessing you're using Firefox with the Livemarks extension.  Virtually no modern browsers support RSS feeds natively.  The only exceptions I know of are Safari and Internet Explorer.  Other browsers will display the XML as text as shown previously.

I posted a link to that extension already.

 

Firefox used to support it, but I forgot in which version they dropped the support for it !

 

Found it, it was Firefox 64

Ok, I'm not really tech savvy so bear with me. I use Netvibes as my RSS feeder. I have used it with Firefox for the last 5 years. I RSS feed 2 Thaivisa Topics (It and computers, mobile devices) and about 40 other news/sports/business sites and blogs. It is only Thai Visa feeds that have stopped near the start of March.

My present browser is firefox 66.0.3

What can I do to fix this.....is rolling back to FF 64 a solution/the only solution?

I added the add-on that MJCM suggested.....don't know what it does/works.

Again layman terms if you can.....

Thanks in advance.

Install the Add-on I suggested and see if the RSS Feeds start working ! Else see if you can export the RSS Feeds with Netvibes and import them in Livemarks via : Tools - Addons - Livemarks - Options - More Options - Import Feeds

 

After installing the Add-on, you should, when you click on the RSS Feed that OXX posted in Post #2 see the same screen as me in Post #6

 

Edit: My RSS Feeds are in Firefox under; Bookmarks - Bookmarks Toolbar

Hi MJCM

Apparently the feed URL for Thai Visa has changed and is no longer readable in 2 different readers that I have used (netvibes and My yahoo) Thanks for your help. I'm not interested in rebuilding Livemarks to be my new feed reader. All my other RSS feeds still work fine, so I'll stick with what works.

The feed is perfectly valid RSS, as is shown by the W3C Validator

 

https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforum.thaivisa.com%2Frss%2F1-thai-visa-daily-digest.xml%2F

 

This would mean that the problem is with your readers.  Are they up to date?

[trevor67]

Thanks Oxx

My readers are webpage readers and not programs (if that makes sense), so I'm assuming there up to date. The fact remains that the other 40 + feeds from 20 other sources work fine, its only the TV RSS that have changed. Also when I replaced the old TV RSS xml with there new ones (from Livemarks) I get "The URL for this feed/stream is returning an error" whereas the old TV xml

showed all articles up to March 5th.

[MJCM]

My guess you should contact the support for your Webpage Readers (NetVibes ??) and ask why don't support the ThaiVisa RSS Feed, which as Oxx already said is perfectly valid.

 

Unfortunately with that we can't help.

 

Good Luck

Thanks again MJCM and Oxx
