i got one comment though, when you submit an article the redirect page flashes by, u cant even read what it says.
Is there a way to make it go slower so that you can what it says? And maybe another suggestion, can you make it so that a user can edit his or her article after it has been validated? |

Gone through it briefly.
Looking good on localhost I dun think I will package this as an add-on , but rather , to merge it to be part of the hack. Seems logical some might want hits counter for their articles/tutorials etc. Will go thru it in depth and make the neccessary changes and push out the next beta version with hit counters hopefully by tmr. Thanks Kars |

Yet another update! Good news! I always like new features. Thanks, cing.
Edit: Got a question. What exactly does your install file do? I need to know the querries. In order to do what I'm trying to do (install the same hack for different sections of the same site in one database), I'll need to change the querries some. |

Btw , Kars and myself are already working on the next version which should incoporate some form of reviewing and commenting system.
We will try to push it out soon |

I think this is a great hack for my website, but I was wondering if I was missing something.
How can I place a link inside my article. I have tried both vb code and html and everything just prints out as text. Any ideas?? G |
