1. Sometimes if you cancel a feed while it's loading and then you load another, the first feed seems to disappear - the first feed is actually overwritten with the seconds title.
Solution : find the second feed, for which there will now be two entries - long press the load button to reload it (or select it and update)
or you can just do "update all feeds" on the home screen (long press the updates row).
