If I find a feed, often if I click it a box will appear with various readers shown, and often FeedDemon isn't one of the choices.  And if I choose Newsgator Online, that is what I get, not FeedDemon, of course.

Is there a way besides cut / paste to use FD as the default (which is how the toolbar is set up) and not have to do it parch-work?

Regards,
Chuck Billow

Hey Chuck -

What browser are you using?

IE 7.

I apologize... I just tried them both (IE7 and Firefox 3) again to be sure... and now they both seemed to work.

Maybe, since I have re-started since I had the problem, that fixed it?

Nick:

I came across the same issue this evening.

I was at http://www.worldstart.com/feeds/cthtml , and when I clicked "Subscribe to this feed ( http://www.worldstart.com/feeds/cthtml# ) IE 7 pops up to take the feed...

But I have the Newsgator toolbar set for FeedDemon.

I've got to be missing something -- but what?

Regards,

I had occasion to try to subscribe to a feed when I was in IE 7 (with the Newsgator toolbar installed).

I wanted, again, to have the default install feed go to FeedDemon.  In Firefox 3 it worked fine.  But when I'm viewing in IE 7 it goes to the IE 7 Feed View page.

What do I need to do to ALWAYS have it install the feed into Firefox?

In FireFox, the toolbar can set it's self as the default handler. IE does not make that available. So if you click on a feed in IE7, IE7 will open it.

If you're on a page with a feed, use the "Subscribe" button on the toolbar to make sure NewsGator is handling it. Or you can right click a URL and choose "Subscribe in NewsGator".

Hope that clears things up.

That'll do it.

Thanks,
