Would there be a way to "move" comments from the old thread to a new one when it comes out in the NEWS format, to help keep out the double posts? I guess this isnt that big of a deal though - probably not worth the effort to do all this...
Actually that would be really nice, I think. Because you're right, it's annoying to have multiple threads on the same topic on the boards, it screws up the discussions and you end up with a whole bunch of posts saying "go to the other thead."
By the way, any and all suggestions concerning the newswire are entertained in the SG:News group.

Why don't you just leave the News in the news section if people wish to see it they can goto new and let people post what they wish on current events that are current events instead of clogging up the boards?
There was a bug in the initial implementation of the newswire that made it so that only articles in the news section that generated comments resulted in threads on the boards. I actually thought this was intentional (and a really good idea) but apparently not. Again, not to sound like a broken record, but suggestions and ideas for the newswire are much more likely to be heard if you post them in the group.
