yea i decided to do just that..reply and then use summary tags...only VERY minor issue i noticed with this is that if the thread is more than 1 page..and i reply and the reply is on the "nth" page..then the homepage link is to my reply rather than the first page of the thread...even if i use the linkme tag...i guess this way is more flexible for the news poster.

yep I know this but couldnt find a better solution. In many cases you would like the original thread to be noticed (like when you use summary tags) so directly going to tagged message could be awkard. So I designed it that way. Intentional behaviour.

post A originated without news tags in post - news poster 1
news poster 2 adds news tags to post A
post A does not get dragged to news page

It should be. As I said the hack is not interested in the editor of the message. It checks 2 things:
* Does the post have news tags?
* Does the post owner has rights to use these tags?

So please double check the post owner (not the one who edited) is granted news posting priviliges in the options part. And make sure other restrictions do not apply to that post. Say if you set to have 5 news in your main page and if it is 6th, it may not be dragged. (Edit: Also check caps of the name. For example if the user's name in db is FRANK and if you configured it in the options as Frank, it wont work)

I dont think there is bug here but if you are sure, please let me know and I'll check.

OH i just remembered one other thing i wanted to ask you! the message at the bottom of the page that says "Time to compile news .xxx secs" i have run time set to "0" but it is still showing the message.

Congratulations you catched a bug! How come nobody warned me before, surprising! I'll release the fix asap.

the phpheader.php file seems to include alot of sensitive server info/pw...is this safe? i haven't a clue...

Since it's a PHP file, yep it's safe no worry. It's not possible to read/download a PHP file content, because server always parses it, if it's called. You can just try by calling it from your browser. You'll see it wont work.

Besides it's not the only sensitive .php file in your server. Check yourboard/admin/config.php.
