http://searchenginewatch.com/about/article.php/2155721 is the page for RSS feeds from SEW.

One feed, http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/icom_includes/feeds/special/sew_forum.xml is not passing the feedvalidator.org test, and my feed aggregator won't accept the link as a result.

The other feeds work fine.

I can't even get feedvalidator.org to load at all :)

I'll ask the developers to check on the feed. Sometimes a character in a thread title causes the occasional glitch. Both My Yahoo and Newsgator have been picking it up fine for me, but we'll look.

I agree that it is validating now, but it wasn't when I posted. It had something to do with the declared and actual charsets IIRC. I hope your programmers can find a way to keep the feed always valid.

Sorry for the partly false alarm.
