Having problem with an RSS feed.

I'm having problem with my RSS feed. Whenever I link to a portion of a site that uses php that has variables in the link, the XML complains. Can someone help me out here? Thanks.

What does that have to do with anything?

What that has to do with is your sick signature. Was I not plain enough?

I have a four-year old daughter who uses Slackware. But if the LQ mods
are going to let people like you post sick stuff like that, I'll have to keep
her away from LQ just like I keep her away from local weirdos and IRC.

I guess an alternative is to check into that ignore option and start using
it on LQ. I never thought I'd see the day it was necessary here...

If you politely asked me to change it, I would have changed it.

Anyway, you're not to clear on your problem. On the sparse info you give, my guess would be that you don't XML encode your URL in the XML. (e.g. convert & to &amp; < to &lt; and > to &gt; )

As a side note (and glad to hear that your problem is sorted), if anyone doesn't want to see signatures simply go to the "My LQ" menu to the right of the screen, click "User CP", go to "Edit Options" and find the section called "Thread View Options". The first line in that section has a "yes/no" choice. Change "yes" to "no" and then click "submit modifications".
