Post for feedback on the RSS feed

Works OK in Google's custom homepage

A request, more than anything else, but could the little gif image perhaps be axed in favor of the traditional :: ?  Just from a visual perspective, the orange image looks very distracting at the present, as my eyes keep wanting to wander over there to look at it.

Yeah, I was worried about that, but I also thought the usual logo would be useful.  I've recolored it to purple and I think it looks great now. (You may not see the change immediately due to caching)

I agree, thanks for changing it.

Hmm, don't remember this before, but REVIEWS show up blank in the RSS feed.



The title tag is truncated.  Looking in the full feed, looks like it worked in the past... Drill D, Shadow the H, and Sims 2 all have it correctly formated.

The times seem to be wrong sometimes. Newer entries will show up in the middle of the list. Using Opera 8.51.

I have my suspicions on the blank REVIEWS issue (could be because review's title is ultimately based on a product's name, unlike news).  As for the times...I dunno!  I can't look into this until I get back to school.

Edit: Just checked out the RSS feed in Yahoo...things seem fine there (I had initially misread "hours" for "days" and got confused.  So I'm not sure what the problem is.

The blank review title bug should be fixed now.  Your RSS reader may not reflect the fix for already-posted articles (I can't find a way to reload the feed in My Yahoo, for instance) but Jonny has confirmed he sees the change after reloading his reader.

Been a while, but the rss feed doesn't work for me (thunderbird 1.5; firefox 2.0; IE6 and 7).  Seems to be a problem with the following line:
<description>What do you get when you Babelfish ???H????</description>
Looks to me like the asian characters are breaking it, not sure what can be done to fix it besides editing that post.
