Problems with paizo.com Atom feeds

[Zaister]

I'm using Feedly to track the posting feeds of various Paizo staff, such as for example Vic Wertz's feed which is linked here as http://paizo.com/people/VicWertz&xml=atom.

However, on or around February 23 something changed in the generation of these feeds, so that they are no longer recognized by Feedly and can no longer tracked in that way. I have contacted Feedly customer services about this, but it seems the the problem is on Paizo's side. They sent me a validator link that shows that the feed is not considered a valid feed:

https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fpaizo.com%2Fpeople %2FVicWertz%26xml%3Datom

Would it be possible to restore the valitdity of the feeds so they can once again be tracked by Feedly?

Should be fixed shortly.

[Zaister]

Awesome.

I've been having the same trouble, was planning on making a post about it. Thanks for fixing it!

I tried to ad another feed to my Feedly today (http://paizo.com/people/LizCourts&xml=atom), but once agaion the feed is not recognized. Putting it through the validator gives errors:

https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fpaizo.com%2Fpeople %2FLizCourts%26xml%3Datom

Could you please check if there might still be something missing?

I'm having the same problem - none of the threads I want to add will work.

For example:

http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2tkby?PH-Dungeons-Eyes-of-the-Lich-Queen

http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2tkdr?PH-Dungeons-5e-Swords-of-the-Realms-Campa ign

http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2tkds?PH-Dungeons-Running-LA-Shadowrun-Campaign

(I do like my Campaign Journals ;D )

It looks like the service that serves most of the rss feeds was having some problems. I gave it a kick and it should be working now. Let me know if you are still having problems.

[carborundum]

That seems to have worked - well kicked, thanks!

[Zaister]

Still not working for me, the feeds are not refreshed in Feedly, probably because they are not well-formed.

See https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fpaizo.com%2Fpeople %2FVicWertz%26xml%3Datom.

I did get some different looking feed URLs, though, yesterday, from one or two profiles, some longish WebObjects-looking path, not the paizo.com/people/name?xml=atom style I get now. Maybe different servers with different code and the balancer sends me to the wrong one?

[Lissa Guillet]

that's possible though not sure how others are doing. I'll run it through a check tomorrow to see how the RSS feeds stack up to a well formed linter.

[carborundum]

Hi again - I'm having similar problems, for example with:

https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fpaizo.com%2Fthread s%2Frzs2tns9%26xml%3Datom%3FWhat-are-the-best-adventures-with-parties

Fingers crossed :)

[Lissa Guillet]

Yup. That was my fault. I got wrapped up in a bunch of things and forgot to turn them back on yesterday. Should all be fine now.

[carborundum]

Thanks a million - all working nicely :-)
