How the heck are you supposed to get the RSS feed onto a web page?

The feed URL is:
http://forums.secondlife.com/external.php?type=rss&forumids=3
according to the lil orange RSS button on:
http://secondlife.com/community

But no feeders seem to be able to read it.

Over,

I use Sage for Firefox as an RSS reader. For the announcements, it points to
http://forums.secondlife.com/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=3
and works just fine.

I haven't tried with rss, but use rss2, but I don't know why that should make any difference.

For what it's worth

Baron, a question:

I have recently started using Sage for Firefox too - and it ALMOST works for me. I am wondering if you have the same problems as I do, or if I am not configuring something right.

I can get the Announcements Forum, just as you suggested. I can also get the Building, Scripting Tips, and Scripting Library feeds. However I cannot seem to get the SL Answers forum (which has an id of 139), or indeed any of the Linden forums with 3 figure id numbers.

Since I read the Answers forum regularly this is a bit of a drag.

Can Baron (or anyone else using Sage for Firefox) comment on this please.

Many thanks,
Mambo
