RSS feed isn't working

   In order to stop bothering my non-hub-pages friends with contant spam about my new hubs I told them to subscribe to the RSS feed by pressing the feed button, but - according to feedback I've been getting - this hasn't worked. Have I missed something out? Is there something I'm supposed to do to make it active?

   It should be active, all I had to do was click on subscribe

   If you are pulling a HubPages RSS feed into a feed reader, you may need to add ?rss to the end of your profile URL, or the tag feed URL.
   
   Full details about how (and where to get all the different RSS feeds of your Hubs)  in the Hub referenced in the sticky thread:

   I read your wonderful hub on rss feeds and thought it was so simple
   
   I have added rss to yahoo and google with help from hubbers.  BUT
   when I click on my rss feed or anyones rss feed button all I get is
   Internet explorer cannot download  etc etc so I click ok and both windows dissappear.
   What am I doing wrong.
   
   HELP

   Actyually I just went to your hub inspire and clicked on your RSS subscribe button.  And the same thing happens.  I thought it was just something that lil ol me could not understand.
   Hope this makes sense to everyone out there

   Sorry, Eileen, it sounds like a browser problem, and I use Firefox, not IE.
   
   Are you emotionally attached to IE?
   
   HubPages recommends using Firefox, and you can download it for free.

   I just tried it using IE v7, and it worked fine - are you using the latest version of IE?
