I'm looking for best practices to integrate log4net to SharePoint for web request, feature activation and all timer stuff. I have several subprojects in my farm, and I would like to have only one Log4Net.config file. [Edit] Not only I need to configure log4net for the web application, which is easy to do (I use global.asax, and a log...

Hello, So, maybe I'm a bit old-school, but when we created websites in the past, we'd develop the site on a development server, then publish or promote the pages and files to the production server. This has always seemed to be a good way to go so that users didn't see messed up pages or (God forbid) a downed server because one of us sc...

We have a weird intermittent problem with saving from Word 2007 to our SharePoint 2007 (MOSS) document libraries that gives a dialog box that never goes away - it is titled "Content Types" and the message "Getting list of available content types..." with a green progress-type bar that keeps scrolling. It happens a lot on our training ser...
I have a site with multiple document libraries in it.

I'm looking into using SharePoint (WSS 3.0, specifically) for the document library and discussion board functionalities. I'd like to ask those of you who have experience in SP (MOSS or WSS, since we might upgrade in the future) for a list of the items that ticked you off or required a difficult workaround.
