Up till today IE7 was in beta status. Any company worth its weight will not support Beta software. When you decided to be a microsoft beta tester (since you downloaded a beta) you took a risk. WF is right in not supporting IE7 untill release date. So dont be calling people idiots when they do it to protect you. Its like downloading Vista beta and complaining that microsoft is at fault when your hard drive crashes. Grow Up and stop being a guinee pig for MS. Dear Serg …

Please upgrade to a supported browser in order to get access to Wells Fargo's secure sites." I thought that was funny considering it's the newest IE. http://www.wellsfargo.com/browser/denied_browser.jhtml?_requestid=60667 I went to the wellsfargo.com website, and when I tried to learn more about banking services I was redirected to a page that told me, “Wells Fargo no longer supports the browser version you are using.

It sounds like conflicting stylesheets (XLST?) are being applied to the feed. Without a style, a feed looks like raw XML (angle brackets all over the place). Feedburner works by applying a style to the feed, to make it all pretified. IE7 does the same thing, and in this case, it sounds like there's a conflict between the style that Feedburner wants to apply and the one that IE7 wants to apply, and IE7 is winning. It could be argued (and Dave Winer has done so in the past) that NO style should be applied to a feed - it's not meant to be read by humans, it's meant to be read by an aggregator/another computer. People put styles on feeds because the raw XML is scary and confusing to most people, and they don't know what to do with it, but in exchange for that little bit of handholding, we run into problems like the one you have, Dave. Dunno what the answer to your question is, but I'm sure the community will figure it out sooner or later. :-) Hmm. It sounds like conflicting stylesheets (XLST?) are being applied to the feed.

When someone clicks on my feedburner site feed link, they used to go to feedburner.com and it looked really snazzy because they had all of this stuff explaining how to subscribe and links to podcatchers or RSS agregators. Now, IE7 forces a microsoft page explaining a little what a site feed is. Does anyone know how any html code to make other people's IE7 to go to feedburner.com/mysitefeed?
