I made a post in a Newsbot thread but the thread shows no replies and has not moved to the top in the News & Articles forum.
I can't remember the settings but I think the threads need to be approved before they are visible to everyone. The newsbot was setup mainly as a test to see how accurate it would be so it was never made public. Plus I wanted the news staff to approve it but theres no option for that. I'll look at it again later today.
