wotz Admin	Posted: 4 Jul 2005 22:20:11 Hi UP RSSxl is not doing any translation, so there is nothing to disable! If you take a look at the source HTML of http://www.torrent.to/torrent/index.php you will see that the links do actually contain "&". Most browsers and newsreaders can handle these links. For example, when you use SharpReader to display your generated feed, the links work fine even though they contain "&" like the original page. Regards, wotz
uschipower Member	Posted: 5 Jul 2005 22:00:13 Yes, you completely right. The Problem is the rss-reader and not the rss-link. I've alway tested the wotzwot-rss-link in the feed-reader of the opera browser. Now the same link in another RSS-Reader and it works very well. Big thx for your help Greets UP
wotz Admin	Posted: 8 Jul 2005 16:13:42 Actually I might have been wrong! It gets a bit confusing discussing entites in forum posts when your browser is busy translating the entities in the posts! I have found a bit of rogue code that may have been causing a problem. The links may work better now - try the feed-reader in opera again. wotz
