I have been using rss.asp without any problems for several months. I just went to use it now and this is what I get:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

-->
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>

Anybody know what's going on?

The rss only shows properly in IE, as far as I can tell.

You are correct. Chrome has done something in the past few days to make this not work correctly from the forum, however, I can subscribe to it OK, and read it in Google Reader using chrome.

Any work around suggestions?

There are no workarounds, so to speak, not that I know of, anyway. Chrome always behaved like that for me and same thing for Firefox.
The feeds are not really meant to be read by browsers, AFAIK. Use a reader for it. I use Google Reader. If you want a windows app, use Feed Demon.

You need to install a Chrome extension in order for the browser to display RSS feeds, but as rui suggests you would be better off using Google Reader, even the chrome extension is not as good is IE's support for RSS feed display

I was using it just to save time and it did work OK. I subscribe to the forum feed in Google reader and can access it there OK. I have had a bunch of strange things happen in Chrome recently. This issue, youtube displaying in the preview but not in the posting, and another is when I hit the space bar sometimes in a posting window, it brings up one of my banner advertisers page and only a certain advertiser. I stopped using IE(8) because it was constantly crashing on my desktop and laptop. Chrome rarely crashes but does have some quirks. Thanks!

have you tried IE9, much better than IE 8, Chrome has lots of quirks, like rewriting your CSS for you because it thinks it knows better, I find I spend most of my time tweeking CSS that IS standards compliant and works 100% in FF and IE9 but not in Chrome, because Chrome has changed it under the hood.

I'm still using XP, 9 doesn't allow it.
