I just noticed this. The feed is generating links like this: http://news.ycombinator.comitem/?id=100946

... when they should read this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=100946

Yeah, you are right, you can solve it in the address bar, but I guess to check for the typo makes more sense ,-) PG ? Anybody there?

lol! Not many people using the RSS, I gather?

I use it. Only issue I ever had was that a few weeks ago, all items' descriptions showed up as Undefined or something. But that's fixed now.

pg, could you please change the MIME type of the feed to application/rss+xml (it's currently text/html)? Some by-the-book aggregators won't read this feed properly.

Thanks.
