In Firefox, I had to add the rss feeds manually to my bookmarks. I grabbed an existing rss feed bookmark that I had, copied it then made the changes. Have got both the vic caches and the forum feeds working fine.

thanks - did what you said and now it all works - can't see MSIE getting much use anymore - I'm a Firefox convert ;-)
