Can't seem to post about the new news items.

been going on for a while now..none of the recent news has been commented on.

is there something wrong with the news forum?

that is correct, i plan to have this issue fixed by end of the weekend, sorry
about that.

you have absolutely nothing to be sorry for. you are doing your best, in your
own time. and most of us are truly grateful. i think the regulars all know
what's going on and will be patient, it's only the newbies that don't realise
that you guys are implementing new stuff (like my technical jargon?! 🙂 )
