Frontpage 2002.... Can Someone tell how to make the front page of my discussion web, display the whole text of... say the last 3 or 4 post's? What I am after is letting a few people post, having thier article show up, dropping the previous one down one spot on the page.. I only want 3 or 4 on the start page and then want them accessed from a table of contents page after that... so basicly they "drop off" the page after 4 articles. I want the full article to show, not just the subject line, on the front page


Thanx in advance

A FrontPage Discussion Web doesn't have this feature.

If you don't require threading, you could get the same
affect by saving article submissions to a database, and
using the Database Results Wizard to display them. Your
main page could contain an instance of the DRW with a max
record count of 4.

If you need the threading, you'll have to develop the site
yourself in something like ASP or ASP.NET, or locate a
third-party discussion component.
