You can now promote topics as "news"...there's an option at the bottom of the threads. Right now almost anyone can do it. I was thinking it'd be nice for events or breaking news.
I promoted this thread but nothing happened on the news line, the line that appears at the top of each page of the forum across from the search function. What is supposed to happen?
Right now if you look at the board listing, this one for example:
http://nhunderground.com/forum/index.php?board=4.0
you see it highlighted as [news]
The programmer guy is also working on an RSS feed for the news threads, so it could go into places like the news at the top of the board.
oh, thanks for the explanation.
