This will take a huge overhaul but would solve a lot of problems: I think a good way to do news would be like the messaging system in Kingdoms of Camelot and Evony.
A player would get information on all the posts (including Galaxy News) in messages. And in a messaging system everything you don't want can be deleted.
Instead of the Comm tab of player pages, players can compose messages, not only making it easier to comunucate but also making it easier to organize large opperations (especially if alliances are implemented).
and lastly message systems have tabs.
