Re: Customization Question About A Block
-----------------------------------
Well, in certain blocks, we can get a choice of what article or forum id's to use kind of like the forum articles block http://prntscr.com/doyztp

I am not sure how the news block works. If it just picks up a forum pst that is marked as news or what as I have found no settings but it seems to pull posts from every forum regardless of ID.

So if I had 3 categories and 5 forums per category and I posted an announcement in 6 of them no matter what category or forum, it would pull that announcement and display it on the front page. 

Obviously it would need block variables to set. Such as how many announcements to display and stuff like that. I would guess this would probably be only appealing as a Global block?
