youre misunderstanding me?
its nothing complicated. just adding another label next to the name of the newseditor that posted the news.... same thing as there currently is in the "readmore" view.
the entire posting process would be the same. the article would be checked by a newseditor like it is now, with the submitter being either 'anonymous' or a name. and then when its posted and the front page is reloaded the page just uses the information in the db...

nothing is different except for one extra field being drawn from the database to the front page. no changes in the current posting cycle. not even adding more to the database... its just the same as always... just one more field drawn to the front page per post.

/me points to Neowin for a cosmetic style that works well, something along those lines would be nice and warm to read.

Forum downtime pees me off, so does the fact I have to double click a forum link as my pop up blocker doesn't allow me to connect first time :evil:

Apart from that keep up the good work with the news.

Bryer: Why not allow PopUps on W2S?

It´s only 2 pops that come... and you´re financing the site while allowing.

Okay, here a little statement:

Fixing forums:

Yeah, that s true. I really hate the problem but i don t know why it happens. It s not the software, looks like a hardware or a configuration problem on php / mysql. I have advised my admin to figure it out and fix it asap.

The DB brakes sometimes, don´t know why. But we will get an DB update soon to solve the problem. Hopefully...

For the new site:

Maybe change the display of the "leave a comment" under an article to "comments given" with an option to also leave a comment (more or less like it is now)...! ??

I dont really like the layout, I'd suggest you guys sway away from the usual PHP NUke look and try something different.
Cheers :)
