Help: Rainmeter Skins • Re: WP7/textitems/reader not opening browser on click

$

I have had this skin running for years on the same desktop. I have two instances of it - one that follows standard news sites (nytimes by default) and another one that follows tech news sites. Until recently I could click on any of the headlines and I would be taken to that story in my default browser (chrome). For the last couple of months that doesn't work any more. The cursor changes to a hand with the index finger pointing to the headline but clicking does not do anything. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot what changed?

Thanks.
Most likely the source has changed the RSS feed structure and the skin can read the item titles but not the link info.

I tried the WP7 Reader using Google News RSS feed URL and it worked. This is the URL: https://news.google.com/news/feeds?output=rss

In order to "fix" your skin at the very least will involve updating the RegExp in the Webparser measure to correctly capture the link locations in the feed for each item.

What is the feed URL(s) that are not working?
