Heres one:

In News just Cant figure out how to link to Full topic (or Category) with its subtopic elements listed.

ie:

Main Topic = News
Subtopic=Category Headlines
Submore topic=headline topic
SubMore Topic=headline topic



Well I can link to a page that has main topics category...
ie: ..storytopic=#

But none of the "submore topics" will display on that Subtopic section even though theoretically they should.

-Does that make sense? Perhaps not.
By example:

On our site HERE, check out this issue, it is apparent via the news select menu.

On the Run -is a news category
The type of show 'On the Run' would be a Subcategory.
For example We have populated subtopic "community" ,

But rather than 'Community' showing up in "On the Run" news topic area it only shows up at the more specific community.

This has been a problem with news module for years now.
Did anyone explore a fix to it other than a different module?


In addition, does the Articles module behave differently with regard to Categories and subtopics? Been thinkign about converting over, but we have always loved the news module.

Thanks!
