Cow Blogs RSS feed

[Abraham Chaffin]

Hello Jeremy,

For some reason when I go to
https://blogs.creativecow.net/action/feed
using Safari or a different browser I get something, I click on the links there and they bring me to the different blogs. I’m not sure how you got to

https://blogs.creativecow.net/action/805

I’ve been clicking around the blogs and can’t seem to locate the error you’re describing. Is there something I’m missing?

Thanks for your response. Do you have the Safari Beta?

Here’s the page I get when clicking on a feed:

And I get that URL right before I get the 404 error (it happens really fast before the 404)

This first:

Then this almost immediately:

I downloaded the Beta and tried it. I get the blank page but it doesn’t redirect me to the 404. I was able at one point to see the code it was parsing and was able to see the bug in what Safari is doing wrong. For some reason I couldn’t do it after that. I submitted a bug report to them, hopefully they fix.

The RSS feed should work for you in any other browser or RSS reader if you put in the URL of the RSS feed.

Here’s the report I submitted:

When parsing this page the code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="https://forums.creativecow.net/interface/stylesheets/news_rss_style.xsl" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="https://forums.creativecow.net/interface/stylesheets/rss_temp_style.css" ?>


Is not being parsed correctly. Try this in any other browser and it parses the first three lines of code as formatting code and doesn’t break the page. Please fix.

Thanks for the report Jeremy.

No worries. I was able to get the feed page by changing the url from https:// to feed://

Then I get the list of the feed.

Then I click on one of the headings, then get that 805 URL then the 404.

Oh the joys of a beta browser…

I submitted this as well.

Hopefully Safari does better with these bugs then Chrome has done in fixing the bugs that I reported to them in their beta version. Even after Chrome came out of beta they still hadn’t fixed the bugs =(

Thanks again,

Abraham

No worries. Sorry if this was the wrong place to post, but I wasn’t sure if it was a Safari problem or Bessie problem. 😉

Cheers.

I believe this one is a Safari problem but it is good to have an eye on the way the quirks in different browsers effect our pages so we can possibly make adjustments if the browser doesn’t fix the problem.

Chrome for instance breaks the repeating background of any page that is super long and has a background image repeating. This doesn’t happen in any other browser and is an obvious bug that I’ve been trying to get Google to fix.

The Browser Wars continue to rage!

Jeremy,
I’m not new to the cow, but I’m finally a “registered” user.
Just wanted to make my first post to see how I “look.”

My love/hate relationship with video continues.

[Jeremy Garchow]

You look great, just wouldn’t want to cross your tracks.

Know what I mean?

Hey Jeremy,

You get the invitation to the Creative COW beta last week? If not I’ll send you an email with the link…
