Problem with adding feed to My Sites on Y! Site Explorer

Claims that the feed URL is unreachable

[goubarev]

I was wondering if anybody else is having problems adding feeds to the My Sites on Yahoo Site Explorer.
I've tried pretty much everything and whenever I try to add a feed it says:

Unreachable URL
Your request was not accepted because:
the url was malformed, or
the url was unreachable, or
the url was already added
Please double check the url submitted and ensure it is correct.

...
I know:
- URL is right (I can see it in the browser - other sites have no problem reaching it...) - URL is like this:
http://example.com/rss.xml
- I'm not blocking Yahoo (or anything else for that matter)
- I've tried with www and with out
- I've tried with "authenticated" site and without authenticated
- It can't be the "the url was already added" cause I've just made it... ;
- RSS is poperly formated (RSS version 2.0) - but this shouldn't matter, since it can't even reach it...

....
I don't know what else to try - Any suggestions?
Maybe their system is down?

Ok, now I'm convinced they have a problem.

I was able to submit the feed through the general submit on this page:
[siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com...]

Where is says under "Submit Site Feed:" - it did accept "http://example.com/rss_feed.rss"...

BUT when I add a site first and then try to add a feed through "manage" button - I still get the URL unreachable error...

yes, you have to submit the whole URL including the http://

I got a total of 7 feeds in and then on the 8th it errored stating it was invalid.. but it was in the same format as the others.

I think they may have gotten bombarded with sites and are trying to play catchup?

Oh - it started working now!
I think they've read this thread?! Wow...

vite_rts, after I add site - I click the button "Manage Site", then under the "Feed" tab I see something like this:

http://example.com/[.....] <Add Feed Button>

The [.....] is the text box where I suppose to type in the relative address of the feed... - so I would just put the "example.rss" in that box - then click <add feed> and yahoo would tell me that URL is unreachable... that was a problem...

Anyway, I have all my feeds marked processed and I also see - Last Submitted and Last Processed Date... BUT... I thought, I'd get much more info - like in google sitemaps: errors, top searches, additional stats... I guess I don't get this here?
