More SharePoint Forums Web Part Fun

Just a minor glitch and a quick update. Some people are experiencing problems with security and installation of the web part. Primarily this is usually caused by the AppPool id for the SharePoint site to be running as NETWORK_SERVICE (which generally doesn’t have any privileges). If you use a local or domain account, this problem should go away (and is a recommended setup anyways).

Also on the point of hosting the Web Part. I built it so it can live anywhere (a portal area, a WSS site, a document library) however for Web Part Pages in Document Libraries, the forums are having a little trouble figuring out it’s own home. After posting a message or editing something in the Admin panel, you might find it “kicks” you out to the Document Library or the main site. I’ll see about fixing this in a drop later this week or early next (don’t want to do a release just for one bug) so if you can either host it on a WSS site (on the main page) or a Portal area, you’ll be laughing. Otherwise you might think things are behaving weirdly.

Weirdly?

Is that a word? Sounds like a member of the episode of the Flintstones where they had the creepy family.

Weirdly Gruesome.

Odd.
