Just like it was set up awhile back, only members of the News Posters usergroup are allowed to display their posts as news on the TechTalk homepage.
The main reason for doing this is to block out spammers from wanting to make their questions, etc attract more readers by posting them as news.
If you have something important to say, or think you ever might, just head over to the Usergroups section of the site and request inclusion in this group. Otherwise, just respond to this post if you want to be included :)
