Is there any chance of getting some type of mod that would count the replies to a news article and put (# comments) next to it?

Easy enough. Open the provided newsdigest.php file. Find this code (It's almost at the start):

PHP Code:

SELECT thread.threadid, 


IMMEDIATELY AFTER INSERT

PHP Code:

replycount, 


The query should read like this after you're done

PHP Code:

SELECT thread.threadid, replycount, postusername, postuserid, 


and so on.

Doing that captures the reply count. You can now slip it into the news item by putting $news[replycount] into the template. For example, change the adv_portal_newsdigest_item template to:

<div align="justify">$news[message] - submitted by $news[postusername]. <a href="showthread.php?t=$news[threadid]">Comments: $news[replycount]</a></div>
