Specify web document discussion settings

Web document discussions are available only on webs hosted by web servers running SharePoint Team Services.

1. On Tools menu, point to Server, and then click Administration Home.
2. On the Site Administration page, under Web Discussions and Subscriptions, click Change web discussions settings.
3. In the Enable Web Discussions option, click the On or Off button.
4. If web document discussions are enabled, specify whether members may create discussions for documents located anywhere on the Internet or only those on the web site.
   • To allow discussions for documents located anywhere on the Internet, in the Web Discussions Settings area, click Documents located anywhere on the Web.
   • To allow discussions for documents on the web site only, in the Web Discussions Settings area, click Documents located on this server only.
5. To delete old discussion entries automatically, select the Automatically delete stored discussions after checkbox. Then, in the field provided, type the number of days that you want discussion entries to appear before they are deleted.
6. Click Submit.

Note   If you don't see the Change web discussion settings option, you are probably in a subweb and need to go to the top-level web site of the server or virtual server. See your network administrator or ISP for more information.
