I use Feedburner to set up the initial RSS feeds from the original sources, then scrub that compiled RSS feed back through Feedburner. In Yahoo Pipes I can see that the URL’s from the Feedburner source are all broken by highlighting them with a question mark so it looks like the problem is once again on the Google side.

I use feedburner to run yahoo pipes because I can’t find a wordpress plugin that will show a yahoo pipes feed in a page. All of the wp plugins I have tried don’t work with rss feeds that have query strings in them like yahoo pipes. If anyone knows of a good wp plugin that works with pipes please let me know I would love to bypass feedburner to avoid this annoying 999 error!

I’m having the same problem. But now I’m wondering why run Pipes through Feedburner? Why not just direct people to Pipes? Any thoughts or comments (apart from potential loss of ad revenue which we don’t use anyway)?

I recently set up a yahoo pipe with two of my feeds and had it working fine last week. This week I noticed the same or similar problem as mentioned above- Error 999…. My individual feeds are updating fine and so is the yahoo pipes combined feed, but the feedburner feed is not. It doesn’t seem to me that this should be a too hard to make happen. Anyone know of any other method to combine multiple feeds and then red-direct them through feedburner…successfully?

The error apparently started to manifest (again) the evening of the 4th

Yahoo Mail was giving me Error 999 for days and several times A day. I told them to do A restore on my Mail Classic so most of the time I use the New Mail just to be safe.
