Bug Error messages trying to read a thread

AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing error messages when trying to access the Asperger thread in medical science, primarily due to issues with the RSS feed failing to parse correctly. The warnings indicate problems with invalid tokens and array expectations in the code. It is suggested that these errors occur when the RSS feed times out, leading to an empty table that generates further warnings. A proposed solution is to implement dummy values in the table when the feed fails, as this issue recurs frequently. Overall, the discussion highlights the need for a coding fix to improve user experience in accessing the thread.

Problems entering the Asperger thread in medical science. I get this instead:

From what I remember it happens when RSS feed fails to answer fast enough (timeouts). All those warnings are just an aftereffect.

Which makes me wonder - Greg, it looks like the problem is an empty table - can't it be filled with some dummy values if the feed doesn't work? Problem repeats often enough so that it can be worth half an hour of coding.
 
Wha'd'ya expect? It's the Asperger thread.

It can't filter the message from the background noise...
 
Homework Statement: Not applicable. I'm asking about a technical problem with the PhysicsForums software Relevant Equations: \left(-2+2 \,\mathrm{I}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \left(-2+2 \,\mathrm{I}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} I posted the LaTeX code for an expression in the "relevant equations" and "attempt at a solution" boxes. When I'm in the "attempt at a solution" box and I click "Preview," I do not see a preview of the expression properly displayed, only the code. After I post this message...
