  Interesting, I see the same thing. I just used the Site Feedback link to send in a notification and included a link back to this thread.

  We'll see if we get a response. I included my email address in the report, so I'll post anything that I receive about this.

  Thanks Mike.  Maybe this means they are trying to fix it as it has been broken for months.  Every time I get it working they break it some more.

  EDIT: Did the fix also clear this up?

  Nope - the feed is still unavailable but no longer shows server error.  It is just a dead link now.

  Now I only see the newest two threads showing up in the feed view.

  Internet Explorer cannot display this feed
   
     This feed contains code errors.
       Go back to the previous page.

  Worse now:

  Which browser?  Still working Ok with IE11 on W8.1.1

  Also, there was a related recent development which found a workaround...

  Down all day yesterday in Windows 7 and 8.1.  All started working again at about 11AM today.

  The feeds mare still broken like they have been for over a year.  We still cannot update RSS if signed into TechNet.  If I sign out then the feed works.

  Most of yesterday and al morning we received repeated IIS server crashes. (Exceptions reported at the TechNet servers).  That also seems to have ceased.

  Workarounds don't work:

  Feeds with DTDs are not supported.

  Feed URL: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ITCG/threads?outputAs=rss

  If I logout of TechNet then that URL works just fine.

  Mine is now up to 187.  Perhaps there is a problem further back which is causing the symptom?  Have you tried a different account?  Use the same Microsoft account so you are only changing one thing for a test.   FWIW I do not have to sign out as a workaround but I am aware that that one is available.

  Also, to be clear, IE11 is showing me a message like your first line.  Otherwise the feed looks fine and can be used normally.

  Oh.  I just noticed that in my Feeds view (Ctrl-g) my subscription to the above forum feed is exactly the same URL as the "workaround" URL.  Is that a difference between us?   And FWIW the rest of its properties are all defaults.  The update schedule is once a day and it is limited to 200 items.

  It is a known problem with the servers and no one will fix it as,I believe, TechNet is scheduled for demolition.

  It is absolute on all systems running IE10 and later.  Under IE 9 and earlier it seems to work.  It is a detection issue for logged in accounts.

  I am fine as it is until they break other things and it quits.

  IE11 won't load an RSS with a DTD on IE11 win7 and later for security reasons.

  The feeds came back last week.  I had to keep deleting and reattaching until they were working again. Apparently we need to renew the cookie whenever this happens.  All systems were restored on the same day.

  I wonder how long until it happens again.  Fixing the DTD issue would probably prevent this.
