solved What's the best option for creating Site Wide Forum & Blogs ?

I want to create a site wide forum and blog section so is it better to create a new profile linked to the master profile or create a whole new account profile for this ? I have set up a quoto specifically for this and will link up to it on the profile.

The way we have it here on jamroom.net is to setup a quota for profiles that are intended to be forward facing. These get the most exposure on the top section of the site.

Then graduate down in exposure depending on what quota they are in.

So the blog list under the /blogs is team members blogs. Thats done by specifying it in the {jrCore_list} that pulls the content for that url:
https://www.jamroom.net/blog

Seams like a good way to do it. Each user can have a blog still, but because they are not in the X quoat they dont get quite the same amount of exposure on the top level.

eg:
HOME -> BLOGS

Shows Michael's and Brian's posts even though Gary Moncrieff has a blog, it doesnt show up there:

HOME -> FORUMS -> (something where Gary has commented in) -> gary.moncrieff -> BLOG
https://www.jamroom.net/garymoncrieff/blog/50/switching-things-up-ditching-phpfox-for-jamroom#comment_section

A cool feature would be to add a Form Designer checkbox to let the admins check a blog post to make it featured so it did appear in the site blog. (another thing that could be done, but is not implemented on jamroom.net yet.)

Thanks Michael, very helpful
