Actually, no. The posting code, which is controlled by the site controls you mention, is only triggered when a vote is cast. Even the time-based auto-post stuff waits for a vote to be cast, then checks the times and determines if it should post the story. Setting the section permissions (in the sections admin tool) to autopost (either section or front page, as desired) for the groups that should have this permission is the correct way to do this. -janra On 17-Nov-06, at 12:20 PM, Arne Johnson wrote: > I'm fairly new at this too, but wouldn't the easiest way to do this > be to > go into Site Controls, under stories, and change the voting score > under > post_story_threshold to zero?
