Yay. It works. Still have a glaring graphical error, but I'll just have to look through the templates. But I'm glad to see that whole Comments text thing was worked out.

One huge problem though.. It doesn't obey the default order I had set in the Forum Manager. I set all threads to sort by title, and this does it by date.

Will it be easy to add default sorting options back in? Thank you! This is looking very promising.

Make that two graphical errors. When viewing the articles in news.php there is a large gap between the tr with the post, and the tr with the "Edit" and "Quote" buttons. There's an extra

<tr> </tr>

and it's taking on my tborder properties I believe. The other error is in shownews.php, where it looks like the entire article is pushed 10px over to the right.. but the comments are fine though. Edit: The comments are in the correct place UNTIL you post in them, and then they move over 10px to the right with the news article.

Ok, make that 3 errors. When a comment is posted the cellspacing is way off from what it should look like in a regular thread.

Fix for one of your templates: In news_threadbit there was an extra set of

<tr> <td></td></tr>

that were empty. Also you have "<if condition="$show['attachments']">" inside of the <tr> tag, you should put the if condition on the outside, since the empty <tr> will show even when there's no attachment. This looked really ugly on my forum, since my tborder was very dark and my alt1 was very light.

And this also just might be personal opinion, but you don't need a "<tr> <td>" wrapped around the "edit note" because it just creates an empty box when there is no edit note. If you really want a box there, you should put it inside the if condition for $show "postedited" so that the box doesn't show up all the time.

EDIT: I get an error when I try limiting the words that show on Newsdisplay. I can't use the BBcode or the method in vB options, I get

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in ...snip.../forums/news.php on line 880

I also get a really messed up table (in Newsdisplay) when a forum that I've designated as a News forum has a description. The Forum name and Description will be stretched across the entire screen, cutting my table in half between the navbar and the first news article.

I've double checked this. I deleted the description from one of the "News" forums and the problem disappears. I thought it had something to do with enabling Announcements (as that's where announcements would show on the news display) but turning them off didn't do anything.

Geez.. Sorry to turn this into such a long post.... Just trying to help out. If you could at least figure out the source of the "Fatal Error" that would be great. I can probably figure out the rest on my own, it's probably just problems with the templates.
