Two questions about the discussion template:
1. When I use search to find discussion threads I get a message that search
isn't running (sorry forgot exact phrase)
2. On the wizard it tells you you can add in extra features later. How do
you do that? I'd like to add-in the drop-down box to divide categories.

Any replies in idiot mode please- first time user!

1. Ask your host to start the Microsoft Indexing Service and create a catalog
for your Web site.

2. Open the posting form (xxxx_post.htm), right-click the form area, choose
Form Properties, and click Options.

Thanks, but what do I do once I click options?

The dialog box title should be Options For Discussion Form Handler. This is
where you can add or modify any supported features you want.
