need some help if anyone knows XML + feeds. Email from Paul Buchheit saying The Inquisitr's feed is invalid because it includes < links.length but I have no idea why WP or Feedburner would start doing this. Anyone have any ideas?

and that's why it isn't being indexed by FF....but all of a sudden today. - Duncan Riley
<script type="text/javascript"> (function() { var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a'); var query = '?'; for(var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) { if(links[i].href.indexOf('#disqus_thread') >= 0) ... - Tim Hoeck
upgrade Disqus? - Tim Hoeck
could be, the timing coincides with me updating the Disqus plugin. Thx - Duncan Riley
not sure why there would be script from it in the feed though.. weird. - Tim Hoeck
Looks like it's definitely due to the Disqus integration. And I was just thinking about switching over to it. Perhaps I'll wait for this to clear itself up first :) - Patrick Lightbody
It's definitely Disqus -- though I am not experiencing any other problems outside of FriendFeed, but it definitely stopped feeding to FF after I upgraded to the new Disqus software: http://friendfeed.com/tvbythe... - Robert Seidman
glad i didn't do the upgrade yet :/ - Morgan
Dude WTF does Disqus have to do with it? That's bad business (yes "bad business" is my phrase of the day) - Rahsheen ™
Morgan, the upgrade went smoothly otherwise (so far as I can tell). if it stopped the sploggers too, I'd probably be OK with them not fixing whatever broke w/FriendFeed integration! but I'm sure they'll get it resolved in quick order. - Robert Seidman
I think it's our fault, unfortunately. We located the issue and will be fixing this. - Daniel Ha
That is definitely creepy, though. How Daniel just popped up. Somebody tell me they emailed Daniel the link to this thread...LOL. - Rahsheen ™
I've also updated the FriendFeed parser to handle these errors more gracefully, so these feeds should all begin updating again. Please let me know if there are any other feeds that we aren't getting. - Paul Buchheit
Rahsheen, yes, I emailed the thread to Daniel the moment Tim suggested it was Disqus related, and as always I'm glad to report that he immediately looked at it for me. The bug may be annoying, but the service remains second to none. - Duncan Riley
also thx to Paul + FF for looking at the issue, feed is now coming in. - Duncan Riley
Email from Daniel, plugin has been updated with the fix, get it directly from Disqus - Duncan Riley
THAT is what I call cross-community customer support! Well done Paul, Daniel, et al. It's great to see things like this go down here on FF. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
sweet - so now i can go ahead and upgrade disqus/FF unite! - Morgan
