Using Opera version 10.10. Recently am experiencing a problem when
clicking an RSS feed in the browser.

When I click the feed link I get a blank screen with the word LOADING in
the center of it. When I try to reload the page, it will flash the
normal Opera feed header, Title, Subcribe to this newsfeed ... , then go
back to the LOADING display.

Does the same with any feed link I've tried that load without a problem
in FF and other browsers. Here's a page of rssfeeds for examples

http://www.npr.org/rss/

This seemed to work fine with 10.01 I think. I know that it was working
sometime in the past and probably before the latest browser update.

Can anyone verify, fix?

Thanks.

on Mandriva linux.

Thanks for checking. I also tried it out again on a few different
machines here, all Windows, with very similar installs of the same
version of Opera and found some worked properly and some didn't.

I looked at the operaprefs.ini, urlfilter.ini, and override.ini files on
working and non-working machines and couldn't see anything that might
make the difference as far as I know.

Does anyone have any ideas? What would cause the screen to blank and
display LOADING in the center? Where is the difference in these that
makes one work and another not?

Thanks for any help.

In case anyone's watching I found the problem, corrupt webfeeds.html
file in styles directory. No idea how caused.
