News Box Idea

It occurs to me that it might be possible to fetch the newsbox from a special post somewhere instead of an admin-only-editable pages/ page.

Thoughts?

I think I don't understand what you suggestion would mean in practical terms.

There'd be a post somewhere that anybody with mod powers over could edit, and that post would be copied to the News Box up at the top of every page in the forum.

Ahh, reducing work load for full admins and putting it squarely in the hands of the Minster for News Boxes?

A good plan.

Sounds like a great idea to me.

Okay!

Do you mean where mods etc write messages to each other in the box?

(The above post intended to fulfill that role... and was split from here )

All set: the post that now updates the news box is here: http://forum.thenorthpacific.org/single/?p=8049728&t=6917307

Only admin, delegate, and cabinet should be able to edit. If the delegate wishes more people to be able to edit it, let me know.
