Discussion Board Resets

B

Bar54

I am sure my issue is a problem with my hosting company, but I would like to
confirm that is is not a FrontPage Issue.
Several times lately our discussion board file ( _disc ) has all the thread
files reset to 00000001. It does not affect the TOC file. So anyone that
replys to a thread with a high thread number, is not able to read the thread.
It garbages the whole discussion. When this happens the site settings are
changed and I have to go in and reset to "view hidden files". My only resolve
when this happens is to clean the toc content file and start the discussion
new. When I have to delete ongoing discussion, it defeated the purpose of a
discussion board. LOL.
Anyway, can anyone shed some light on this issue? Somewhere in my research I
thought I read something about a _disc file only being able to retain 1000
post? I counted the threads and there was about 1550 when the file reset.
thanks
Jodie

Make sure your DW is a separate subweb
(publishing the root web w/ a DW in it will always reset the DW

Then it shouldn't "reset" unless
- you publish to it
- your host is reinstalling the FP SE

The hosting company is telling me it it because I have more than 1000 files
in the folder..... We didn't have this problem on the previous server. Is
this their parameters? or Linux? Thanks for your help.

The DW is limited in it's ability to handle large # of posts
I suggest as you approach 1000 post you archive the active DW (and delete ability to post/reply) and create a new DW

Stephan,
Is the new version of the discussion board the same? I want to keep the
simplicity of the FP discussion board and not move to the newer PHP styles.
This Discussion board was created on an older version of FP. Is the issue the
same with the newer sharepoint discussion boards?
