has anyone thought of changing the news to have a $maxchars option and it inserts a "read more" link at the bottom?

I plan to properly integrate this in a later version of the hack

also maybe a way to make a stickey thread stay on top

It would probably be easier to set vBindex to display a certain thread(s) in a block you specify.

I noticed that if a post is made in the news forum it shows on top on vbindex and if someone makes another new thread it then shows on top but if the previous one is replied to it remains second in order on vbindex never to return to the top as it does in the forum itself.

It seems to me at least very illogical to have the latest news in any other order then it was posted in.

same thing when you make a post stickey....in the forum it goes to the top of the list but on vbindex it moves down as other threads are posted.

Thats the point, to show the lastest threads posted. Although you could specify a block to have sticky threads from specific forum ids.
