Problem with the Newsfeed...

Well, not as perfect as I thought. Guess I should have tested the links... when I click on one from my site, this is what I get instead of going right to the article...

I've grabbed a new code, thinking I messed it up while changing the appearance but the new code does the same thing.

How odd. It works fine wherever I've used it (the syndication info page, for example); it's also working perfectly on the front page of RPGNow. I've really no idea why it would be acting like that for you.

Any technical genius out there know what might cause such a thing?

You want an absolute link:

<a href="http://www.enworld.org/....">

not a relative one:

<a href="www.enworld.org/...">

Ok, I figured it out... and I didn't alter the code at all, so I changed nothing in the url, it was always http://

Alright, incase you end up with other people having the same problem...

The code on this page is fine..

But when you generate the code on this page ...
http://www.enworld.org/forums/composeexternal.php?

this line right here..
a href=\\\"http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=" + threads.threadid + "\\\">" + thread

the triple \\\ should only be a single \ in both instances.

YAY! If you only knew how little I know about this stuff, it's a miracle I figured it out.
