Author's Article Update

It is now possible for authors to keep their article up to date. Whilst there is a facility for loading your own updates, readers and users can make suggestions of their own for updates. These suggestions are not posted to the website until the author approves them, for which there is an easy to use mechanism. Users are automatically emailed with a decision on their suggestion.
