I've posted a new build for News Articles in the downloads section (members only).

New Functionality Includes:-

• Added new option to Admin Options -> Main Options called "Require Category". This will force the author to specify a category when creating an article. The default for this setting is to not require a category.
• Added a new template section for "Latest Articles" called "HTML No Articles". Text in this template will be displayed when no articles meet the configured criteria. This is particularly useful when using the new "querystring" option to filter on author.

Fixed Bugs Include:-

• Specifying an expiry date but not an expiry time will no longer cause an error.

Thanks again for your assistance.
