Any idea ?

Hey,
Very useful plugin> The following features would make it even better for WPMU:
- Only site admins should be able to promote a post as a featured post
- The title input does not seem to work. It still defaults to Featured Sitewide Posts
- There is no option to remove excerpts completely
I am using WPMU 2.6 + BP 1.1.2
Could not find a suitable section so I written here, how to become a moderator for your forum, that need for this?
Why would you like to be moderator on my forums ?
Great Plugin , thanks
Great plugin!
Thanks, and thank you for your donation !
Agree with comment above that only site admins should be able to promote a post as a featured post. If you can integrate this feature, I would use this plugin.
