that is happening because of the feed you are using. some have the CDATA tags in front and behind. i'm not sure if this will work. it should. it is just replacing the things you don't want with what they should be, or in some cases nothing.
in rss_update.php FIND:
// Setup the thread
ABOVE ADD:
PHP Code:
$rss_title = str_replace("<![CDATA[[", "", $rss_title);
$rss_description = str_replace("<![CDATA[[", "", $rss_description);
$rss_title = str_replace("]]", "", $rss_title);
$rss_description = str_replace("]]", "", $rss_description);
$rss_title = str_replace("<p>", "", $rss_title);
$rss_description = str_replace("<p>", "", $rss_description);
$rss_title = str_replace("</p>", "", $rss_title);
$rss_description = str_replace("</p>", "", $rss_description);
$rss_title = str_replace("<b>", "[b]", $rss_title);
$rss_description = str_replace("<b>", "[b]", $rss_description);
$rss_title = str_replace("</b>", "[/b]", $rss_title);
$rss_description = str_replace("</b>", "[/b]", $rss_description);
