[QUOTE="Thorpe89"]On my tracked friends' blogs RSS feed I have a problem. Everytime I read it in my RSS reader (Google Reader) it says "Username is either invalid or unregistered" for everybody. Here's an example link that is displayed in the RSS reader:

http://www.gamespot.com/pages/profile/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=m-100-24904867&user=Thorpe89%E2%88%82=rss&tag=gs_user_tracked_friends_blogs

As you can see, the link does not work thus preventing me from being able to go to the right place from my RSS reader. Please can this be fixed?

It works for me in Firefox... maybe it's the RSS reader? From what I can tell, the problem in the link is this: ...user=Thorpe89%E2%88%82=rss... The text in bold should be "*ampersand*part". (*ampersand* = &) EDIT: OK, I see the problem. The RSS reader is reading the "*ampersand*part" as an HTML code, not as actual text. Try Firefox or IE7.

Actually, what I meant was that you should use the capabilities built into the browser. This thread tells you how to use the feeds in the browser: http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=25233720&page=2&msg_id=281477586#7 Either way, this is a problem with Google's RSS reader, not GameSpot.
