On submit form of news module.

1. Hi i love this module News 1.68 but i would like to remove the thing that makes it a must to fill in the scoop area because on my site we are just using the image upload only. And now people are forced to fill in dots in the scoop for the post to go. I would like to make it NOT a must to fill in the scoop.

2. I would like to remove the (Set the date/time of publish) a lot of people are making a mistake on that then we have to go through the admin to edit. How can i deactivate the (Set the date/time of publish)?

Thanks

Right now you would need to hack it.

Maybe in the future we could make it as options in the Preferences.
