Is that why my news submissions went AWOL the other day?

i dunno, they won't show on the front-page for 1-2 after posting, and they will fall of the front-page if the link doens't get at least 10 hits in 4 hours.
fixed a bug, when someone comments from the newsframe, they don't get credited +1 post count on there forum profile. So that is fixed now.
I noticed this because there are a few people that have never posted in the forums, but have commented on news and there post count under there avatar was 0.

I found it strange how there was no comments on news for the last couple days, so i quickly found figured out there was a problem with the news comments.
Its fixed now.

The news voting was working on all the pages its present except for the front-page. Not sure why it stopped working, but its fixed now.
Also on just the front-page the comment drop down wasn't working for news items that had existing comments. This is also fixed.

Due to some concerns of active news posters, I have removed the ability for "Anonymous" or guests from voting on news items.
I was also thinking people might vote on news items more if they could vote in privacy or hidden. So I was thinking about adding an option in your profile to enable private news voting. So members who want to remain Anonymous can still vote on news.

With some help from Hyack some bugs in the News system have been fixed.
Sometimes new news items would disapear from the front-page before the 4 hour limit and not shop up on the "dropped" page until after the 4 hours. This has been fixed. But if it gets 2 negative votes it will fall off the frontpage even before 4 hours. I think thats a good value, to allow self moderation of spam.
I also fixed the anonymous problem, they cannot vote anymore. they get a popup window saying they must login first to vote.

I remade and finished a page called "News Image Collage". It shows all the news images seperated by month.
You can view previous months, and there is page numbers at the bottom so the page doesn't fill up with hundreds of images.

I finally adding some basic duplicate checking for news-link submissions. If the link title or URl closely matches an existing news-link, you will get a warning that shows the duplicate matches.
You can then decide not to submit the link, or continue submission if it isn't a duplicate.

I created a fun little flash page that displays the most recent news images in a 3D carousel that you can zoom in and out of. Placing your mouse over an image will show its Title and description, clicking it will goto the news story.
