News links

[sirthought]

I happen to be a fan for both UC and XU.

I really like how bearcatnews.com has links posted to news articles and blogs. Any chance there could be a way to submit links for posting on a news page? This could set up so anyone could suggest a link, but a moderator would have to approve it.

It's a great way for me to get right to the news I'm most interested in! :D

We can work on that.

Don't we already have this with the drop down boxes at the top of the screen?

[Muskie]

Yes... but i believe he's suggesting that the users directly add them. I frankly off the top of my head don't know if that's possible.

kyxu,

The drop down menu has links to news sites. If you go over to bearcatnews.com you'll see on their homepage how they have links to the actual specific stories and blog postings. Any time there is a new story about XU, it would be posted to the page for anyone to read versus having to go search for some news. Just a helpful way to share and faster than finding it in a discussion thread.

We had a news feed at the very beginning. But most of the stories were repeats of whatever the AP posted. It basically was it's own forum, and the news stories would go in there.
