As of three years ago the FP2002 extensions were not compatible with
FP discussions. I went back to FP2000 extensions on a windows server.

Has the 2002 extensions been updated in the last few years?

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.

Sounds like your only real choices are a script-based message area. (eg.
Asp, Php or Perl etc).

Thanks,
