Not a bug Bug

[OverHere]

Hi,

When you go to http://xenforo.com/community/forums/-/index.rss in Chrome you get the error result page shown in the attached photo - but there is no such error in IE.

So, do you have a solution for this error in Chrome?

That's not a bug. Chrome is just telling you that you are viewing a straight XML / RSS document.

so how to correct it to get it to appear as it does in IE?

This isn't a XF bug per se...

Unlike IE and Firefox, Chrome will present raw data for RSS feeds figuring you'll likely just use a RSS feed reader.

You could install a feed reader add-on of some form, such as:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...tensio/nlbjncdgjeocebhnmkbbbdekmmmcbfjd?hl=en

Cool. Thanks for the Link wasn't aware that chrome presents raw data when pulling from the RSS Feeds.

Edit: And installed

In Chrome, why doesn't xF fix this issue on this site using the above or a similar add-on?

It's a chrome add-on I believe he's referring to which I just installed not an xf add-on.

But your installation hasn't taken effect? In chrome your RSS page still shows up the same? Or, I don't follow you?

Because it's not an XF issue, it's a Chrome issue.
You need to install the browser add-on on your own device.

oh i see, i get you now.... the add-on is only for individual devices not for xF. But Chrome hould provide a fix for this then.

Yes, you'll have to install the chrome add-on alien link you to and it'll display your RSS Feeds in a format you are wanting.
