Same response as you, but mine andmy other half's work fine. Possibly something to do with the age of the account, maybe? I'll have to amend the post accordingly while I try to find a way to work it from his. Yes I’ve done some playing and I can’t get it to work for my son’s feed either.

I’ll have to amend the post accordingly while I try to find a way to work it from his.

I have the same problem than Gio. I have found my notifications rss feed url but when y change notifications.php by status.php, get the same error. Este URL no existe. Da clic en este link, si es que tiene acceso, http://www.facebook.com/minifeed.php?status&id=100000024540010. I have tried to configurate the status updates for see by all people but is showing me the same error... Anyone knows why we get this error? Thanks! Hi. I have the same problem than Gio.

Pay attention to the values for id, viewer & key in the query string, made bold here -> http://www.facebook.com/feeds/status.php?id=<strong>123456789</strong>&viewer=<strong>1234567898</strong>&key=<strong>98765432a</strong>&format=rss20 - these should be your own <em>unique</em> values, as facebook uses them to identify your account. The numbers I have used for demonstration here do not work, and result in the behaviour you have described, as does navigating to http://www.facebook.com/feeds/status.php with any kind of incorrect query string. The reason that we get the URL of the notifications RSS and change it to 'status.php' is that it completes these values for us. If your notifications RSS feed works, then so should your status feed. Or at least that's the theory ;) Are you pasting the correct URL into the address bar?

After changing to status.php the browser gives me this error: "This feed URL is no longer valid. Visit this page to find the new URL, if you have access, http://www.facebook.com/minifeed.php?status&id=." Any idea? Thanks for your help, but it doesn’t seem to work.
