Well, I'm not on the CT and don't have much time to check into the coding issues.  But here are a couple of suggestions.

1) Review the issues reported in the bugtracker. support.dotnetnuke.com/project/Project.aspx - if it's not an official 'bug' then, no one is really doing much with it, so report it.

2) Folks do monitor the forums, but mostly these days, seems like more user issues are dealth with here than actual code fixes.  Just my impression.

3) I've used the XML/XSL module for display of RSS newsfeeds,  seems to work with less issues for some.  Give it try.  All you would need is to specify a XSL for the newsfeed.  I've posted many custom examples, so you should be able to find one suitable, if you can't find the default xsl used for the news feed module, location depends on which version of dnn you use.

Cheers

Hey Jack,

I'm using XML/XSL module and it is doing the same thing. I can't try Full trust since my hosting company wont allow it.

Frustrating.

I am having the exact same problem. I wanted to show my latest blog entry on my home page using the News Feeds module. I enabled syndication on my blog. Sometimes I get a connection error message just like yours and sometimes a unavailable message.

News Feed Is Not Available At This Time. Error message:An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line 93, position 73. Do you or anyone have an resolution?
