You may want to consider doing that. I have no idea when or if the notification feature will be reinstated.

I was hitting the RSS feed under my Favorites, but when you said that I noticed that there is an RSS feed link at the top of each thread. When I clicked on that it seemed to work fine.

If it did need a stylesheet, the web designers would of put one in. Did a quick search and seems that it shouldn't need a stylesheet. <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_confused.gif" title=":?" class="bb_smilies" /> Em, what version of Firefox are you running? Is it the same on every RSS feed or just certain threads?

And it is that way on my netbook too. So I do I tell the computer what stylesheet to associate with this feed? tallyg on "Not receiving any notifications" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/not-receiving-any-notifications#post-202303 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:07:03 +0000 tallyg 202303@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Ginj, it appears your viewing the code... can't see the image properly but it appears to say it has no style associated with it, which makes me think it can't find the stylesheet and so the browser doesn't know how to display the feed... I could be wrong though. ginj on "Not receiving any notifications" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/not-receiving-any-notifications#post-202251 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 16:27:54 +0000 ginj 202251@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Firefox. <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> I always thought that was the way RSS feeds were supposed to look until I heard you and Fryphile talking. <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_lol.gif" title=":lol:" class="bb_smilies" /> gjhsu on "Not receiving any notifications" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/not-receiving-any-notifications#post-202231 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:30:59 +0000 gjhsu 202231@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Woah, freaky!
