[The Geek]

Well, I guess that is cool to be considered as an option for other (significantly) larger hacks.

Ill try to address each point-
1- Next (major) release has this ability
2- Sounds kind of cool. I wont promise it for next release but I will promise to look into it as I dig it.
3- Are you saying that instead of how attachments are displayed now... you would like them displayed like the Media Boxes in vB articles?
4- Wouldnt think that would be too hard... Ill look into that
5- Does the Featured Geek Article hack take care of this?
6- I cant guarantee that there will be a 'summary' or 'intro' section for each article as this has proven to be a little challanging. And as Matt pointed out, the featured/random articles comes almost there with snipping text at a particular point.

The one thing that makes this hack so great (even as is) is because it leaves little to no footprint. There is minimum code changes which means easy upgrades and you get all the benefits of vB(security, searching, permissions). Because of that, there havent really been any real errors to speak of from this hack. It is important that I keep as much of that as possible with the next release (which so far I have done!). Sadly, I have been out of the country on business so I havent had any time to finish it yet.

Watch this space!

Hope this helps and good luck with your decision

Matt - Cheers for the heads up on the phpstart problem (and everything else). That was an odd one!
