Opera seemed to decide it didn't like my settings and would fuck up big style, so ended up deleting my user settings and restarting Opera, luckilly I had my bookmarks and exported and in the end took about 5 minutes to set everything up again.
After some tweaking managed to make sure every feed in 1vFeeder was parsing properly, sometimes even parsing individually for each feed depending on it's quirks (sure it ignores standards sometimes, but if I want information from I site I'm prepared to overlook it in the short term in order to aggregate the information I want).
One problem I've currently found in CMS v3.xx, from Damian's weblog, is that encoding other than 'iso-8859-1 or 'utf-8, such as the 'windows-1258 encoding used by *Microsoft Word*, certain characters will just end up being replaced by questions marks. For *1vCMS* I'll have to try and get a function to convert all input data into the same encoding (probably 'utf-8 or 'iso-8859-1`).
