Known Issues

The following issues are known to exist in this release.

Cannot view CVS browser when connecting directly to JBoss
If your SourceForge installation connects directly to JBoss (e.g. if you are not using Apache,) and you are running both CVS and SourceForge on the same server, you will not be able to view the SourceForge CVS browser in some versions of Internet Explorer. This is a known Microsoft issue with Internet Explorer 6.0. For additional information on this issue, see the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;843518

To resolve this issue, do not use http://<servername>:8080/sf to access SourceForge. Use http://<servername>/sf without the port.

PowerPoint files do not save automatically in SourceForge
If you are using the SourceForge Document Manager Add-in for Microsoft Office, and use the Open in SourceForge function from within Microsoft PowerPoint, then click Save, the document will be saved to your temp directory, not back to SourceForge. You must use the Save to SourceForge function to update the document in SourceForge.
Must edit document after cancelling Save to SourceForge
If you are using the SourceForge Document Manager Add-in for Microsoft Office, and use the Save to SourceForge function, but cancel the operation before saving, you must make at least one edit to the document before you can use the Save to SourceForge function again.
Must select document to update in SourceForge
If you are using the SourceForge Document Manager Add-in for Microsoft Office, and use the Save to SourceForge function to update a document that already exists in SourceForge, you are prompted to browse to the document folder containing the document that you want to update. You must then select the document that you want to update. If you do select the folder only, without selecting the document, SourceForge will create a duplicate copy of the document.
Internet Explorer does not recognize file type when document is open
If you are using Internet Explorer, and attempt to upload a Microsoft Office document while the document is still open, SourceForge will not recognize the document file type. To resolve this issue, close the document, then upload it to SourceForge again.
White screen displays when opening PDF files
When using Internet Explorer 6.0, you may encounter a blank screen when attempting to open a PDF file stored in the Document Manager. If this happens, right-click the document name, then choose Save Link Target As. You will be able to open the file from your file browser.
Erroneous notification message when a SourceForge Administrator changes a user's email address
When a SourceForge administrator changes a user's email address, a confirmation message is generated stating that an email notification will be sent to confirm the address change. However, no email notification is sent.
