Cannot create News articles

Post by jmcgin51 »

On a new install of .13, I cannot create News articles.  I can enter the title, category, summary, and long description, but when I click Submit, it doesn't save it.  I can't view the news on my News page (default Bulletmenu 1col + news), and I also can't bring up the article in the News editor.  It simply doesn't exist, as far as I can tell.  No errors at all; it's as though it just vanishes when I hit Submit.  I set the Publish date for today, and the start and end date for today and 6mos from today.  Ideas?

uninstalling and reinstalling the News module appears to have fixed this...

I also noticed that the default Bulletmenu 1col + News template specifies General for the News category.  I put my articles in other categories, and didn't notice that they wouldn't be displayed...
