Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    My workplace uses Server 2003 - I'm getting a new laptop myself and would like to be able to also use it at work. Will I have full functionality between Windows 7 and 2003?

    if you get a standard copy of windows 7 then you won't be able to join the domain (yes it could be setup to see files and such)

    so you administrator won't be able to impose restrictions on your system, only if you pay more to get a business version will the admin be able to control your machine and stop you installing (unlicensed) software , viruses


    If you need a pc for work , get them to buy it

    otherwise they have to expose their network to whatever is on your computer AND there is nothing stopping you robbing all thier files


    if all you need is internet there is the option of a 3G dongle (slow) or maybe they couild be nice and set up an access point outsided the firewall

    Thanks for the help - I should have explained my "work" is a school where I teach hence my home laptop is also our work laptops, with all of the issues that brings. I am also the person responsible for IT in the school and do my utmost to protect out systems - up to date anti-virus and spyware software etc but on our limited resources this is a constant struggle. We have limited access to tech support due to serious under funding - 8 yrs now snce the Department of Education provided any money for the purchase of computer equipment.

    What functionality do you need ?

    I'm guessing you don't need active directory policies and stuff like that.


    DHCP , FTP , terminal services, web sharing will work with anything

    File / print sharing - you may have to give the domain name as well as the user name and password to connect
