CMS Systems
Ok, as you may know, I have a website called Happy Gamer, located here:
http://www.hg.gamechief.net
I am using CuteNews, but I can't edit the whole website with CuteNews, and so that's what I want. Does anyone have any reccomendations of a CMS system that would be good for a gaming website with previews, reviews, games, consoles, mailbag, etc. sections? I would also like to be able to replace the default template of the CMS with my template (Currently on Happy Gamer).
I know you're all gonna say PostNuke, but think about it first. Just 'cuz it works for GT, doesn't mean it'll work nice for my site.
Any reccomendations?

RE: CMS Systems
mambo is easier then postnuke or try looking up cms or portal or php portals at hotscripts.com , there are around 50 great ones , 5 free great ones, 500 crappy ones, that arent free or great at all. Postnuke kinda sucks in my opinion but im too lazy to run a real website.

To branch off guru's comment; PHPnuke sucks worst. Too many hidden security probs.

RE: CMS Systems
Ok, so I found iGaming CMS. It seems to have a large community, and lots of sites that use it, so I'll try it. I'm uploading it now, then I'll install.

RE: CMS Systems
Well I've used it a fair amount now, and I'm liking it 
It's quite easy, but in order to edit the template, I have to do it through FTP, 'cuz the "template file editor" doesn't really work. But that's the only problem I've had so far. I'll post problems if I have them.

I'll be sure to. Right now I'm editing the current template into my template.
[EDIT]

It worked fine last night when I last tried it. I haven't changed anything since. What happened?
I sent you a PM, swbf_lase
