RSS Feed help on Omnimo theme

[aus1094]

I am new to using Rainmaker, and just finished personalizing my omnimo theme. After finishing I realized that my RSS feeds wouldn't update. I've been searching for how to fix this issue all day, but cannot find an answer any where. So, may someone help me solve this? (Also, it isn't the theme because I tried it on ABP, Enigma, and Gnometer and anything to do with RSS feeds never worked.)

Thanks in advance

Can you run this skin and see if Rainmeter is talking to the internet ok?

I ran it and I get a red light. Does that mean its a firewall or something similar?

99% chance that you have a setting for some kind of proxy in Internet Explorer. Even if you use Firefox or Chrome or something else, Rainmeter's WebParser uses a stub of Internet Explorer on every Windows PC, and if there is a proxy setting that requires validation when you connect, it won't work. Try turning off any proxy settings in IE and see if that doesn't fix it.

If not, you could look at your firewall settings and add an exception for Rainmeter.exe inbound and outbound.

I just updated my anti-virus program and was forced to restart my computer. Oddly, upon reboot it fixed itself. Thanks for your help though, it is much appreciated
