I'm not sure how to make my heroes in the object editor to become regular units. I could swear I've done it before and that its on the stats list in object editor. But mabye I'm crazy.
You could be thinking of the Stats - Hero ability field on spells?
If you have NewGen, you could probably set the first letter of the rawcode to lower case (since you can turn units to heroes by making that letter upper case) but I've never tried it
Other than that, just base the unit on something like Footman (or whatever is most approriate) and change it's model?
you can change everything but the level interface & the icon on the left hand of the screen, otherwise you're best off replacing him with a regular unit (but same model/stats). You can do this with triggers.
Like, when A happens remove (hero) & create a (unit) at region.
I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
