I just tested out your system, and I have to say... it's a little strange. I completely understand how it works, but to me it just seems to overly complicate things!! The advantages of using a forum based news system over something like Newspro are that what will appear on the news listings will be exactly the same as the thread. Your system seems to introduce a completely new and seperate news management system (you will have to have archiving, news editing abilities, etc etc).

I'm not belittling the time and effort you've put into this, I'm just giving my genuine impressions of it.

Personally, I would have preferred to see something more intuitive and frankly less complicated, such as the option of news specific tags in the post, such as [summary]This is the summary which will appear on the news page, but will be hidden in the forum[/summary]. Anyway, this is just my opinion.

The system you have is quite powerful I just hope that it's increased complexity doesn't cripple it's simplicity.
