New Version - V2

    * This version address a minor bug fix which fixes the problem cause when expanding the news block when placed at the top of the gallery (found by will)
    * Also i have attached a "low" version whic is suitable for mysql servers that dont support the number of chars in colomns that is supported in the normal version. This version also does not expand automatically hide the block on page load. (Lite Version)
    * Upgraded manually by overwriting all the files except those in the include directory, lang directory,codebase.php and configuration.php
