I would like to pass the URL for the Article to the body of the forum post.
This seems to be a necessity as people will visit the post and wonder where the article is / how to view it. Will also generate traffic back to the article.
Is that a possibility?
Or... Is my script not working properly? Why would anyone want an article-related message posted in a forum without a link back to the article?? 
** Thanks!
Jim

Here's my fix for it, it works with iKonboard, but you could figure out how to modify it to work with your forum.
Change the my $forum_body = "SUMMARY: $rec{'summary....... line to read like this:
my $forum_body = "SUMMARY: $rec{'summary'}\n\n---\n\n[URL=/articles/publish/article_$art_num.shtml]Read the full story here[/URL]\nWhat do you think about this story? Post your comments below.";
You can change the line to read how ever you wish, but that should give you the general idea.

and i quote "Dave Edis":
Webguys asked "is their a way to have the script add a reference link to the article that is being discussed? " Look for the line that starts with "my $forum_body =" and add the link at the end. Assuming you're using the default naming it would look something like this: Read the full article at http://yoursite/publish/article_$rec{'num'}.shtml $rec{'num'} would insert the number of the article.
