Re: ¿News Permission Problem?
-----------------------------------
The moderators cannot edit Administrator's posts...
I Will try to explain better...
When a moderator creates a new topic, he can't (in that moment) post it as news because the news option doesn't appear, but, when he, after posting his topic, edit his topic, he can make the topic news.
Yeah, it seems to be a permissions problem, but why they can post a news ONLY when they edit the posts? I think that it is something in posting.php file, which doesn't check well the permissions. 
Another thing: This doesn't happen when an user edit his post..
