    Don't use Articledasboard, it is not supported anymore and has many documented issues.

    Use ArticleMS for a free script or ArticleFriendly if you want to pay.

    One of the first things I do is to look at a scripts support forum.
    That one is dead.

    you can use CMS like drupal, and use CCK module to create custom field(title, summary, article,about the author), enable profile picture, create a role for author(featured author, expert author, etc).

    I created an article directory based on drupal earlier here it is http://www.dailyfreearticles.com/ . The category are still hidden and only the category with article content will be displayed. This is the first phase but once the site get a lot of article submission, I'm planning to create a ezine, articlebase like theme.

    You might want to check subrion publishing script. It seems it has all the functionality you need.

    Besides, you can try esyndicat + article plugin. It will allow to create categories and post articles in them :) It depends on what kind of site you really need and what expect from it.
