Actualy I don't think I ever did that exactly. What I did was send you information on how to make a forum moderated so that only admins and moderators can make new threads (and thus news items that will be ripped to the news page with this script), but where anyone can reply to news posts.

Thus all the news is posted to a thread and anyone can read and reply but not start new news threads.

The selective moderation information is here:

Actual, I have made several changes and small tweeks... if you go to the site I'm working all this stuff out for: http://www.onandoffroad.com you can see what I'm doing... I have lots of stuff posting to the home page, and I'm using the user database for a user register... ( go to trucker registery ),
All of the stuff I'm doing requires no changes to the database and minimal changes to vbull, So in the event of a reinstall things should be easy to keep right.

Any comments? Just curious.
BTW it's built for IE anything else might look funky...
