hstaam wrote that he was having problems with Unread Posts link on the front page, with Windows 10 and Firefox.
I have tried the link with Safari, Chrome and Firefox albeit on MacOS and could not find anything wrong.
But I do have issues with the two links next to "Unread Posts" ie Forums and Topics.
Both Firefox and Chrome are returning the source code with the message
"This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it."
And Safari returns
"No RSS reader is installed"
Although I believe Apple took RSS support out of Safari a few years ago!

I've used Chrome, Firefox, and Edge on my WIN10 system and all seem to be working with no issue.

@codepage
I'll assume that the fault is in my settings and check deeper.
Thank you and all who responded to my post.

Not so sure that it is your settings! I just had something strange happen while using Chrome under Win10 that doesn't happen with Firefox on the same machine. It has to do with editing a post. Used to work just fine, but now seems to open a new post instead of bring up the post I'm trying to edit. I'll post this and then try to edit using Chrome followed by an edit with Firefox. I'll try adding one additional line of text. If it stays true to form the line I add with Chrome will be in a separate post and the line I add with Firefox will be right below this text.
Line added with Chrome. Looks like it is working today! ?

Line added with Firefox. It now seems to have reversed what I experienced yesterday! ?
Now added this line when back in Chrome. Not sure what is going on.
This line just added using Edge. Well two out of three ain't bad. At least I can use another browser if one doesn't seem to be working.

For the record, there have been no updates of changes made to the forum recently. Not sure why you're experiencing these changes between browsers.
When I set up the forum I did some limited testing on Firefox, Opera, MS Edge, and Safari. But it was only limited, I didn't go into depth with the tests. I pretty well always use Chrome

Those two links are indeed supposed to be RSS feeds, that's why they have that symbol beside them, so they output XML
Having said that I just installed an RSS reader on my Chrome and tested them out. But I can only read the feed titles, not the contents. So I'm not sure what value it has. But it does work for "Recent Posts" and Recent Topics".
Does anyone still use RSS feeds? I'm tempted to just turn off RSS, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone who is using them.

I have just installed the Shoyu RSS extension on Chrome, and it works. Shows titles and contents!
Maybe there is a similar solution for FireFox, not at all sure about Safari ?

I'll have to try that one, the one I installed was from feeder.co
