finally i had some time to work on antville (thank god there are weekends ;-), and this is the result:

• i hope there is no confusion about "where will my comment appear?" anymore: there is now a seperate page for adding a toplevel-comment
• the commentcounter-macro now counts the comments, and not the threads (there has to be a reason why i called it this way ;-)
• the bigger change: authors can now define who is allowed to edit a story they created using a select-box in story-editor. 'til now there is no story-locking done so concurrent-editing-conflicts are possible ...
• choosing the userlevel of a member is now done also with a select-box instead of two checkboxes.
• stories/comments in the recently changed-list get now the first words of the text if there's no title
• the text-preview ends now with the next space reached, not exactly at the limit specified
• bugfixes included (and i hope i didn't create any new bugs ;->

Due to some changes to existing macros there might be difficulties with existing weblogs, at least i tried to keep the backwards-compatibility ... and i didn't update the documentation of macros ...

ok, so now i'm heading into barcelona's nightlife!

those are indeed cool improvements, robert. thanks a lot for your week-endly efforts. i like the recently-modified box much better now. and +1 for counting comments instead of threads. purr!
