I still haven't used vbHome, but I do have a test page that works perfect. I was wondering...

Would it be easy to make a revision so that, instead of having a dedicated forum for articles, there was a way an admin could designate a specific thread from anywhere on the forum as something that would appear on the home page.

For example, an admin could edit a thread and 'enable' it to appear on the VBHome page, regardless of what Forum it might be in.

I could accomplish this by using a special post icon, but everyone would be able to see the icon, and then I'd have to disable the post icon display on VBHome page (because they'd all be the same).

My guess is I would need a new edit thread template, a new field in the thread table, and a modified query in VBHome index. I'm just not PHP sophisticated enough to do it myself.

Just a thought.
