The following link is broken:

http://www.hdtvmagazine.com/news/%3C![CDATA[http://kotaku.com/5018194/research-says-ps3-appeals-to-older-folks]]%3E

Look forward to seeing this story.

Also, I'd like to suggest your original feedback link links to the feedback forum instead of a generic set of links. As it is, it takes several links to finally get to point where one can provide feedback, a minor nit but I believe it would make your forum more convenient to use.

Hi Henry,

On what page did you see this link?

Could you elaborate on the steps you went through to get here (ie What pages did you click, etc.)? Obviously we should simplify this process where possible.

Thanks,

The link I used (and I just verified the problem still exists) is:

http://www.hdtvmagazine.com/news/story. ... id=4164152

Clicking on "Read original story" will produce the error message "Page Not Found"..

Here's is where the confusion arises because all the options don't seem to address the problem that the page wasn't found, but I understand how that may not be possible. Perhaps just a rewording of the text on that page is all that's needed.

I understand now. It has to do with how they are formatting the links in their RSS feeds. In this particular item, the link should be:

http://kotaku.com/5018194/research-says ... lder-folks

I'll fix our coding so that it properly parses these links.

Thanks,
