Why do I get this message: "Cannot open eRSS Builder document file. Please make sure it is accessible for reading and writing"?
You may already have eRSS Builder running in the background while you are trying to open or start another instance. Check your "Windows Task Bar" menu for a "eRSS" icon, and either click that icon to open eRSS Reader, or close/exit and try restarting eRSS Builder again. You may also want to view the "Windows Task Manager" (hold down: Ctrl, Alt and Del) to see if it is already running there.
I get this message "Error reading index of -- channel" or "Stream read error" and eRSS Reader then hangs - what can I do?
In this case, your data file may be broken. Try exporting channels to an OPML file, exit
eRSS Reader, delete My eRSS Builder folder from My Documents folder, run Reader again and import OPML list again.
How do I flag topics that I want to read again later?
To flag items to read later, simply highlight the feed topic in the Channel Panel (top right) and right click your mouse. You can then select "Toggle Topic Flag" to add a flag icon next to the topic feed you want highlight. You can also select "More Flags" to add up to 5 different colours of flags next to each item.
Why don't scripts or pop-ups work in the Topic Panel?
As a result of overwhelming feedback, all scripts have been disabled in the Topic Panel (Bottom Right) area by default. This has been done to stop pop-up advertisements from automatically displaying while trying to view a feed. However, if you wish to enable scripts - you can do so in the "View / Preferences" pull-down and check "Allow scripting in web browser."
