There were some updates for security issues.
Why are you saying the FP2002 extensions were not compatible with
discussions?
I have never seen a working example of a FP discussion using FP2000
extensions. I changed to my current provider because he would provide
the old FP2000 extensions.
See the thread that I started on this
microsoft.public.frontpage.client on 9/21/02. (16 replies)
Subject: Where is a successful discussion web using FP2002 extensions?
Message-ID: <
[email protected]>
(By the way, how can I use that address to go to that message using
Agent or Firefox?
==== One of my messages in that thread reads:
"Stefan,
If Edward installs FP2002 server extensions, his discussion web will
be hosed. The FP2002 extensions will convert all posted messages to
one long line -- wrapped, of course. This will make the discussion
unsuitable for all uses except as a toy. It happened to me.
See the message below in this thread of Thomas A. Rowe.
The conclusion that I draw is that you cannot use a FP discussion,
regardless of version, with FP2002 extensions.

==== Another post in that thread says:
"Edward,
When I checked your web yesterday, the version of the extension
started with a "4.", indicating FP2000. Maybe I read it wrong. Now I
see that they are 2002. I posted a multi-paragraph message on your
www.myfrontpage.net discussion. The 2002 extensions compressed it all
into one line.
My FP discussion is on
www.samplingplans.com/forum/forum.htm If you
paste a long but formatted message from my discussion onto yours, I
think you will find that it is unsatisfactory on yours. That is due to
the difference between FP2000 and FP2002 extensions.
Sincerely, Stan Hilliard"
==== The reply:
"Hi Stan,
Thank you for noticing this to me. Yes, it is a bug. I hope someone
can notice Microsoft to fix it soon.
Edward"
==== Then again, from Thomas A Rowe:
"Stan,
There is a bug in the FP2002 extensions related to the Discussion Web
ability to
implement line break/returns in textarea field. See:
http://www.ycoln.net/Discussion/
The only solution currently available, no matter which OS your site is
hosted
on, is to roll the extensions back to FP2000."
==== As I said in the beginning, I have never seen a FP discussion
that worked with FP2002 extensions.
