vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Logician NEWS: Drag Any Message to Your Main Page

i have it installed and it's working well but i seem to be running into an issue marking a post as news:

-i have specified myself as being able to post news along with one other person.
-i can mark a post as news using the [news][/news] including my posts i have made in the past.
-i CANNOT mark other member's posts as news. I include the news codes but it does not show up on the homepage.
-i had the other person able to post news post a thread and then i tried to mark it as news and it didnot pull this either.

so is this correct? i must post the post in the forum myself to be able to mark it as news?

what i wanted to do was go thru the forums and find post that were interesting and drag these to the homepage regardless of who originally made the post. i figure i can do this by allowing everyone to post news in the config file but i would prefer to avoid this if possible.

thank you for the hack!
