Need some help adding RSS feeds to my 360 page?
When I attempt to add RSS feeds to my 360 page I only get an error message. Different feeds, same result. Message says, "Error: We were unable to fetch the feeds you requested. Please check the URLs and try again."
It worked one time weeks ago so I know I'm doing it right, I've followed the directions precisely. Anyone else been able to work around this problem?
That worked gruumish, thanks!

I've been having the same difficulties, and I think I may have some good news. It's a timing issue, and if you have patience and determination, and just keep clicking the button to save/add the feeds, every 20-60 seconds (don't go crazy by clicking faster) then eventually the request will go through and the feeds will be added.
Basically what's happening here is that the 360 site is pretending it's a web browser, and it has to go to the site you specified and pull in the link. So then, if the site is busy or you're online in the Internet equivalent of rush hour, then there's going to be some bottlenecks.
I was able to narrow this down because I was having trouble not only getting my Yahoo Answers RSS into my 360 page, but also an RSS from my OWN website, which I absolutely KNOW was valid and accurate. Therefore the trouble HAD to be on the 360 side of things. Let me know if this helps. My actual links that I was able to successfully add using the above technique...
