Does the RSS feed of this forum work for anyone else?

Question
-
Call me old school but I still use RSS feeds to keep up with stuff and last month the feed for this forum quit working. After some investigation I discovered that it is not valid anymore :(
http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsocial.msdn.microsoft.com%2FForums%2Fen-US%2Fvsx%2Fthreads%3FoutputAs%3Drss
Who do I need to contact to fix this?

If you paste this url:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vsx/threads?outputAs=rss
in the validator on this website:
http://validator.w3.org/feed/
and ran the check you get a bunch of errors. It seems that thunderbird use this validator to confirm its feed. Like I said, was working fine till the middle of dec. I have changed to a different reader and the link works in that program so this is not an issue for me any more but others wanting to use thunderbird may run into this.

The RSS feed seems to be working just fine for me in a browser.
