Glad you like it, hopefully it will soon start to busy up a little and get interesting!

At Aprils request i have added an RSS feed and a favicon.

I should at this point extend thanks to Vladd for his valuable assistance with some issues during the rss mod, without his input its likely i would have burned the mod to CD and placed it in a food blender out of frustration.

:cheers:

Autodiscovery of the RSS feed is still not working on the forum or the main site. Did you remember to add that code to the head of both the site and the forum template?

(nope, you didn't add it)

Should be working now, the mod i used did not contain autodiscovery, hopefully now the code i have added will work just fine, let me know if there are any further issues, i will do my best to correct them. :thumbleft:

When I view the source of the page, I see this:

Code:

</head>

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Acid-Lounge.com RSS</title>
    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS"
      href="http://www.acid-lounge.com/forum/rss.php">
  </head>



<body class="ltr">

You should only have 1 <head> tag in a document and 1 </head > tag, and 1 <html> tag

Remove this section that you added:

Code:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Acid-Lounge.com RSS</title>
    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS"
      href="http://www.acid-lounge.com/forum/rss.php">
  </head>

then add this line:

Code:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Acid-Lounge.com RSS"
      href="http://www.acid-lounge.com/forum/rss.php">

BEFORE the already existing </head> tag so it will look like this:

Code:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Acid-Lounge.com RSS"
      href="http://www.acid-lounge.com/forum/rss.php">

</head>

<body class="ltr">

Better yet, go to the top of the code where you see this:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">
<head>

paste that line of code right after that, before the favicon code, and not only will autodiscovery work, it will work fast and have less chance of timing out.

Ok April, i cant see any change over what i had, lol, but i have added your code as described, let me know if its now better.

Code on the main site is fine and working well...but...

you still need to fix it on the forum.

Right click this page, right here, right now, and look at the source.

It still looks like the double head tags are there. That needs to be fixed or it can cause you big problems. You could end up with a forum that won't work in some browser that isn't smart enough to ignore the bad code. Some people could end up seeing a blank page.

Or you could end up with a search engine spider not seeing the entire contents of your pages if it misinterprets the bad code. So fix that asap.

Looking at the source here, the head tags seem to be in order and all seems to be well, please let me know if you can see any remaining issues!
