RSS feed weirdness

[Damselfish]

I have a Scubaboard RSS feed on a MyYahoo! page. It still says Scubaboard, but sometime very recently the links supplied started to appear in German and go to various German blog sites. I checked the list on Yahoo and 3 of the 24 feeds available do this - looks like they are the ones that just say "Scubaboard" rather than specifying some subforum.

http://e.my.yahoo.com/config/cstore.../index.html&.keywords=scubaboard&.find=+Find+

Also, some of the feeds have titles like "ScubaBoard - 2,6,39" instead of "ScubaBoard - Basic Scuba Discussions." They work, just don't know what subforum they get you until you try.

Unfortunately the link you provided is specific to your account. Clearly our site is entirely in English so there should be no way you get a German RSS feed from us. There is however another ScubaBoard site in Europe which may be where the feeds are coming from.

As far as the numbers, ScubaBoard - 2,6,39 would be multiple forums which can not all be listed in the rss title. I will however see if we can't find a way to improve and put some sort of title into the feed.

I don't think the link is specific to my account - don't see anything specific in it - should work for anyone that has a MyYahoo account and is logged in. It's just searching for Scubaboard in their RSS feeds.

Anyway, the listings themselves are in English and go like this:

ScubaBoard
from the Web via RSS
Since 2000, over 50,000 divers have joined ScubaBoard to discuss topics from general Scuba Diving to Equipment to Travel Destinations. Our site also includes a wide range of ocean sport & dive related articles, underwater photography galleries and even a dive vacation and resort finder tool.

One of them now goes to this site - http://p1.antville.org

the other 2 go to this site - http://orangata.de

My German is rusty but they're definitely not scuba!


Note that this is a feed I've been using for quite some time now and it did go to Scubaboard yesterday. Either yahoo or someone out there mucked things up, or somebody copped your feed.

ok, today it seems to be working again.
