Atom Feeds not working

[mjenkings]

Hi

I want to get forum topic updates to appear on the front page of my website, but I can't get it to work. When I test either of the feeds from the forum with the W3 validator I get the message that it isn't a valid feed and is actually just a web page.  If I copy a feed from another forum (such as Nabble support) it works fine.

I'm probably being a total numpty here but I can't figure this out. The feeds shown on my forum are as below:

Atom feeds for Roker Canoe Club Forums

feeds Topics only
http://roker-canoe-club-forums.39694.n7.nabble.com/Roker-Canoe-Club-Forums-ft1.xml
feeds Topics and replies
http://roker-canoe-club-forums.39694.n7.nabble.com/Roker-Canoe-Club-Forums-f1.xml

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I have only just moved the forum on to Nabble and getting Topics to appear on the website front page is essential.

Cheers.....

Mike

Hey,

I got the same problem here.
Do you already have a solution?

Do either of these topics help?

I found them in a search but don't have the skills to advise further.

Hi

Thanks for taking a look but no, they don’t help.

The issue seems to be that on my forum the link that reads http://roker-canoe-club-forums.39694.n7.nabble.com/Roker-Canoe-Club-Forums-ft1.xml doesn’t actually point to an .xml file at all - it is actually an .html file

Cheers…..

I suspect you are just clicking the link and not adding the file to your feed reader. Do you have a feed reader installed?

Hi

The feeds don't work in a feed validator - they just seem to be html files not xml.

You can try it here http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Froker-canoe-club-forums.39694.n7.nabble.com%2FRoker-Canoe-Club-Forums-ft1.xml

If you substitute my forum feed with the one from the Nabble support forum it works fine.

Any help appreciated.......

Oops!

Sorry for not checking and disbelieving you.

You're right! That is not the expected file.

And it's beyond my abilities to help.

Over to Pedro...
