Cool. thanks for finding a workaround for that issue. Next update ill mention that old vbx threads should be copied instead of moved.

2. That pagination looks great!!! Is it running on your site? I would be interested in checking it out live. A key question is whether there is some kind of means to format an existing article in this way? I like do like the single line layout, too.

Not running in a place that is accessible yet. There wll be no means to format existing articles like it (yet) though it is something I guess I will have to give some thought to as I am sure people will want it. Right now, You simply keeping adding 'replies' for pages.
In a nutshell, you create a 'newthread' and click 'add page' to keep adding pages. Once you are done adding, you click complete and it then opens the article for commenting.

3. I was looking at the article and it seems that the reputation link is missing from the article post itself? It would be good to have there so people can give the author props (whatever those are).

Ya, makes sense... Ill add that for the next package update.

4. I was just thinking it would be interesting to show attachments in a vertical column distributed alongside the article.

column1..........column 2
attach............article text

I guess that wouldnt be too hard, but I agree with nathanus in that it should be an option or a template modification.

Thanks guys for your support and ideas
