bananalive,
another suggestion: make number of displayed "most read"/"most commented" configurable, that would be good.
also, can you add an option to "link" an article to an existing thread upon creation? like this: user adds some useful post in other forum and i would want to store this info to be viewable as an article. i can move or copy this thread to articles forum but that's too inconvenient, if copied there will be two sets of comments with no viable way to merge them, if moved it will reside in articles with only a link in old forum and link can't be sticky. i would like it to be vice versa, the post itself in old forum and a link to it in articles, clicking it opening the post as an article. this way it can be very user friendly and convenient, moderators still having access to the whole thread to weed out unneeded comments and on the other hand, the useful info still easily accessed via articles section. could make a great "knowledge base" or "faq" mod for technical boards and such.
and, um, well... if that's possible it would be also great to have some "nominate for knowledge base" mechanism in threads, like "report this post" but for good posts that deserve to be put in articles section.
