RE: the problem with "escaped" characters in the RSS feed. This is definitely on GLP's side - these animals are showing up in the RSS page itself (just click on the RSS button on the main forum to see them).

RE: the problem with the feed not getting updated. The RSS content itself is definitely reflecting the forum updates (again, just click on the RSS button to confirm this). But my provider (Yahoo!) is not receiving the updates. Stale cache on GLP?
