The newsbox is back up -- but in spite of popular opinion here I put it on the current story page. That means one less page I have to update with each upload, something I didn't think about when I made the original post. We'll see how it goes. -- Wes

[> [> Subject: Re: Newsbox revival? Author: Lew [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:25:12 09/03/10 Fri Nice to see the news back, but I had to go looking for it. I, among others, purchased the D/L of the story, so I don't naturally go to the latest update of the story, as I have the whole thing already. I usually check the main page, then the forums, so I may miss postings of news. That is why I voted for placeing the news on the main page.
