Well, have to say I'm quite pleased with this, once I got it working, though I am now finding my members are a bit confused about the difference between a byline, a Synopsis and the actual editor to post the main article. Before you comment on the intellegance level of my members, we are all older guys, who didn't have computers to play with when we were young, so we get confused easily.

To be honest, they hate change. So, I have a couple questions and some ideas, based on what I've seen so far:

1. What's the template used for the fields for posting, I think a line explaining what each field does would help people.
2. Is there a way to not have bylines? I've noticed it stretches the header image down on my forum with my themes
3. On the listing for the synopsis, it cuts off the amount of characters automatically, is there a way to change it?
4. OR... instead of having the synopsis, having the system instead display as a option the first 100 or whatever characters of the post instead. Like how VBA CMPS news pages do it, and would be a lot simplier especially if we are using that new vb3articles convertor of yours (Besides, I already had someone post and not bother with bylines and synopsis) Also, maybe a read more link at the forum board listing at the bottom of each synopsis would be nice.
5. I love the way it displays, but I noticed there's a space on the left menu at the top, and I think it would look a bit better if the header image for the article rating etc be in line with the first line in the article. Is there a way to set a different CSS code for the background color there? I would like to play a bit with that left menu, add some stuff, so which template would that be?

Really top notch though, and it's nice to have it so intergrated with the forum system, but these are just suggestions for future versions.
