Vbulletin 3.5.1
I give this mod a thumbs up!
I installed this mod and have it working. Don't try to use google news rss feeds. They all kinds of formatting in the description. Went with yahoo.
I am seeing a few glitches. Random characters are appearing in the message body.
Example -

It might just be the feed from yahoo. I am also seeing off topic articles from them.
Here is a sample of google news rss feed. Let me know if you find a way to make it work.
