FrontPage Discussion Forums

[Guest]

Hello,

I''ve created a discussion forum in FrontPage and it won't work. When you
go to the site, it looks fine. You can post a comment and it will show on
the .toc page with the title and everything, but when you try to open the
post to read it, you get the error message "Page cannot be displayed". I've
checked the forum and compared it to others and I can't find anything.
Help

can you give a URL to the failing discussion web?

Here is the discussion forum. It looks like it's working, but when you
click on the postings at the bottom of the page, they won't show up. You get
a "page cannot be displayed" error.

Actually, it's a "page cannot be found" error. But, when you go into the
folder list in FrontPage and open the associated folder, they are all there,
titled 00000002.htm, etc. Some have a letter instead of a number, like
0000000a.htm, I've looked in other forums that I've created and that doesn't
seem to be a problem.

If I can't fix it, can I recreate the forum and somehow display the messages
that have already been posted?

Rename Mrs.Harris_toc.htm to Mrs_Harris_toc.htm

it's a tenuous situation to try to recreate the discussion web _and_ keep
the data.

Try Thomas' suggestion and see if you have any luck with that.
