FoF 0.1.8 users, please see this post at LaughingMeme. Magpie 0.7 has a bug (that I think was included in some code I originally sent to Kellan… sorry about that!) which will cause character encoding translation to fail if you don’t have iconv, but do have mbstring. If you have iconv, everything is fine. If you want to fix this right away, you can download the new version of ‘rss_parse.inc’ that Kellan has made available. Of course, I’ll include this fix in the next release of FoF.
