To clear up one last (I hope ) point. News posted in chat is not automatically considered for a news forum. This does not mean it won't be. It's up to the news crew to make these choices.
Yes I have though about that, but I don't always have the time needed to do a good job. The past two weeks I've been off work & home with my wife and our new baby. I don't always have the time I have had lately, but when I do run across a story I think others would like to read I'd like to share it. How many news posts would be required?
nope kingcobra you won't, i installed a multi user groups hack for cases exactly like yours... you'll still be in the fund donors group, but you'll have news team privs too
