A few website changes:

(1) A new modified version of the news module for postnuke has been installed. This allows the past articles to be 'paged' through by the viewer.

* IMPORTANT *
You MUST go to user.php and change your homepage preferences so that the number of news stories displayed in 2. Otherwise this feature will not function properly.

(2) The Recent Headlines block has been installed into the center. The theme.php file had to be fixed in the sideblocks code so that it would display to 100%. I'd like to thank Harry at http://raider.microp.com for helping.

(3) phpBB2 lastxpost was moved back into the centerblock and the number of the last posts was increased to 10.

(4) News items were placed into a table so that they did not overlap with the topic image. I've divided up the News story into a 3 column layout with the checkerboard image used as a divider. The link and source for the news stories are also now clearly identified.

(5) The autolink feature was enabled for the news stories. This gives links to other websites whenever the company name is put into the story.

(6) The Linux Information Center was started yesterday. This is a phpWiki in which members may add to the document.

I reset mine to 3, yet I still get 15-20 showing, and yes I cleared the cache.

Ugh. OK. Just a few questions.

(1) Is this the AusturksA theme?
(2) Is this Mozilla, Galeon, Dillo, Epiphany, Konqueror, or something else?

I removed the "thread" option from your user id and set the number of articles to 2. Logout and back in and see if it is working for you.

Sorry :(

Oh ! I understand now !

That would be correct. The number of headlines shown is supposed to be 25 but the number of stories shown with text at the bottom should only be two.

Sequence is headlines, banner, penguin community posts, latest surveys and registered members, and THEN the two (2) news stories.

Sorry that wasn't clear. My fault.
