1. I believe, based on past posts, that if you use ctrl-v, the keyboard
shortcut for paste, it will paste correctly. The known problem is with
trying to use the context menu (left-click). As you have found, it
doesn't work.

2. The URL you quoted, http://news.yahoo.com/rss, is a just page that
lists the various RSS feeds. I believe you need to copy the link to the
feed you want & paste that in.

For example,to add the Top Stories feed:

Using your web browser, go to http://news.yahoo.com/rss

Right-click on the orange RSS box to the right of "Top Stories".

Click on "Copy Link Location".

Use ctrl-v to paste that link into the Feed URL line in TB.

I just tried that & it worked fine for me.

You might have accidentally copied a newline character into the URL.
