Q. But I think flat threads / topic view is better!
A. Good for you; have a cookie and go away.

Q. Why don't you have feature X?
A. First, check the "Next Version" list. If it isn't there, then drop by the forums and ask. Either we considered it and decided it was a bad idea, or we just haven't thought of it yet and we may add your suggestion to the next version list.

Q. Can I use SQL Server 7.0?
A. Maybe; it is certainly worth a try. Although it isn't officially supported or tested, it may work with some slight modifications to the stored procedures.

Q. Can I use <insert other database name here>?
A. No; Currently Lasto only supports the SQL Server data provider. However if we get more requests for other data providers (such as Oracle, etc) then we may add support for them as well.

Q. What about using the dotnet Framework 1.0?
A. Not recommended; Lasto is designed to run on v1.1 of the Framework. However you can coerce Lasto to use v1.0 if it is the only thing available. See the dotnet docs for more information, but we make no promises - it may not work correctly!

Q. Help, I can't use full text indexing!
A. We are aware of this limitation, and will be providing a more "basic" version of search that does not use full text indexing in the next version. This basic version will be slower, less accurate, and use more database server resources to perform a search, but on the other hand it will work on the MSDE.

Q. How do I run the database scripts?
A. You need to connect with Enterprise Manager to your database server, then open up Query Analyzer. It will allow you to load the .SQL scripts and run them against the database. If you can't connect with EM/QA, then use whatever tools are provided by your ISP or DBA to run SQL Scripts.
