During a short-lived period where juju granted me forum maintenance privileges (about 15 minutes), I performed the following site updates:
-Replaced portal login block with buttons leading to the full login page since the former was broken for at least two months
-The entire staff can now auto-approve front-page news articles even if they are not part of a sub-group.
-The entire staff can now clone their own topics even if they are not part of a sub-group.
