I'm trying this, but so far can't really see what it's doing or meant to do. As nearly as I can tell, it simply changes the terminology use for a given forum, such that posts are "Articles" instead of Posts. Oh, and it adds a header image.

What am I missing? I would expect that an "Article" could be associated with another forum category, and would be "featured" there.

So, other than slightly altering the appearance and terminology of the threads/posts within a particular forum, what other features does this have? I have a suspicion that I'm missing the point...

In particular, I don't understand the "feature" settings, such as "Auto-Feature new threads". Feature them where? How? How does a featured article differ from an un-featured article?
