Agreed -- that is not really the link that should be there.

Of course making it different requires a (probably minor) hack -- which I'm hesitant to do in some ways just because we are trying to keep the amount of hacking we do to the system to a minimum. Let me think about it a little while and decide what to do.

thanks,
John

For example, here's an excerpt from the top of the Coupon Connection RSS2 feed:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> 
- <rss version="2.0">
- <channel>
  <title>FlyerTalk Forums - The Coupon Connection</title> 
  <link>http://www.flyertalk.com/forum</link>

The problem area is the first <link> note -- that URL should point directly to the Coupon Connection forum, at least in my ever-so-humble opinion.

Anyway, it's almost thanksgiving, so... THANKS!

Dave
