DEMO
Now this is not a full featured article system with thread promotion options or article views. I may implement that later on, but I really just like extending a forum and not becoming something entirely outside it. So when a user clicks a "news" item then they will be taken to the discussion on the forum and not an article view or some other thing. IE this is just a fancy way to display recent news or content. Now enough of what it is not and here is what it is.
What it does?
What it will do?
(Future updates that may not available right now)
What I plan on doing?
(Not started, but will after the planned updates are complete)

Cost
This add-on costs $6.00 as an opening price. I will change this as features increase.
There is no copyright removal fee, it is brand free from the start.
You may purchase it for a forum you are staff on, but I'd need you to pay and I'd send the script to that forum owner.
This first cost provides you with 12 months of updates. After which you may renew support updates for $5.00/yr. Support is continued and provided as I am available *which is pretty often*.
