Thanks Mike,
Another feature that only appears to work if you hae Windows XP is the
ability to close discussions and to view closed discussions. In Win XP you
get an option (under Discussion Options) to show closed discussions and on a
comment itself you get the option to close it.
One very serious problem - It appears that anyone can delete anyone elses
comment! Is there some way to prevent this?
Is this the best forum for Discussion Server topics?
Thanks
Paul
