   I am running WordPress 2.7.1

   I have a strange problem. I just installed FeedList and tried to use it for two government RSS feeds.

   The first feed contains search engine friendly URLs (no ampersands) and works fine.

   The second feed contains URLs with name-value pairs. The ampersands are being stripped out of the feed file and the links are therefore broken. I cannot figure out where they are getting stripped out.

   I did check the original RSS feed file and the ampersands are in the file, but they are not in the URLs when I display the feed in a post.

   I have checked feedlist.php, rss.php and class-snoopy.php.

   Any ideas?

   Just wanted to confirm that my installation of WP 2.7.1 has the same problem.

   A feed with links such as this:

   http://www.screensite.org/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=52&func=view&id=506&catid=16

   is stripped of ampersands and turned into this:

   http://www.screensite.org/index.php?option=com_fireboardItemid=52func=viewid=506catid=16

   which, of course, does not work.

   P.S. I tried out another RSS parser (KB Advanced RSS) and ran into the same problem.

   I'm beginning to suspect it might be a PHP 5 issue. Can anyone confirm/deny this?
