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...
 
I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
