I use Sharpreader for reading RSS feeds, not sure how it works out of the box on Firefox but I think an extension is needed for an Outlook-like interface.

(And of course, our feeds DO work)

I looked at url of the feed, and it directed me to "http://www.techspot.com/vb/backend.php"

Somehow i think thats wrong
I you could be so kind to post the correct one, that way i can add techspot to the the rest of my RSS feeds

Click the RSS icon in the Status Bar at the bottom of the screen and then select -
Subscribe to 'Techspot RSS'...
It will add itself to where ever you point it to in your bookmarks.
Open your bookmarks and go down to your new RSS feed and just hover the pointer over the top of the link.
A context window should pop out with the current headlines from the Techspot front page.

If you use Thunderbird as your email client you can also add your RSS feeds there too.

Thats what i did, and it didn't work, i got the wrong URL for the feed. Seems to work now, they must have fixed it after i posted it.

But i can definatly say that it didn't work last week , tried it muliple times.
