Sounds reasonable.
We rarely have very large articles so vertical scrolling should not upset my users too much.

Can you think of any downsides to this? Does it function similarly to articles?
The only downside is that news are limited to one page while articles can have multiple pages.
Also, is it possible to use the forum for News comments?
Yes

Thank you!
So I can just use News to store my content.

Yes, with a small modification. Open /modules/news/newsdosubmitstory.php in an editor and remove the following code (line 127-128):
To change the drop down menu:
Main => Manage Menus => Edit item #9 and replace:
with:
elseif( !$input_link )
{
$error = $templates -> exectemplate( $main_templates[ 'news_submission_error_nolink_html' ], $main_templates[ 'news_submission_error_nolink_php' ], $insert );
}
To change the drop down menu:
Main => Manage Menus => Edit item #9 and replace:
{$insert['site_url']}{$insert['param_ct']}news{$insert['param_action']}submitstoryadd{$insert['param_page']}index.html
with:
{$insert['site_url']}{$insert['param_ct']}news{$insert['param_action']}submitstory{$insert['param_page']}index.html

Thank you for the reply.
Is it possible to have my users submit news stories without requiring a URL?
My site has quite a bit of user contributed material and I just need to figure out how to import that (I'm working on it) and how to continue to allow them to contribute new material.

I would like my members to be able to submit articles but I could not find a URL for article submission (except the one in the admin area).
The news module have a submission queue for stories but not the articles module.
On the Advanced Tab for Article Submission I can select the forum for article comments. Is it possible to set a default value for this and not allow my users to change it?
Not yet, but please post it in the suggestion forum.
