I've just re-enabled the link between the Universe Today website and the forum. Now whenever I post a new story on Universe Today, it'll automatically create a thread in the forum where people can talk about the story (Phil's planning something similar).

However, because we've changed boards, we had wipe the database that linked them up, so this is starting from scratch. All the old threads are there, but new, blank ones are being created.

Not to worry, vBulletin will come to the rescue again. It's got a feature that lets us merge threads with the exact same name. I'll give it a try shortly to see how it works. But until then, and especially when Google starts crawling Universe Today's story archive, there's going to be a FLOOD of Universe Today posts in the forum.

This'll settle down in a while.

For the record, I use some of the stories posted on universe today in my Astronomy class, and have them visit B.A. on the 'net; thank you for your efforts!

Thanks also for the story archive, it allows flexibility in classroom use.

It's still happening for some reason, though not as much as it did in the early days.

That's pretty cool that you use the stories to teach classes. Do these classes tend to yield impressive results as far as keeping the students interested?
