Hi-

I'm a Sharepoint 2007 newbie and I need some advice. I recently enabled Office SharePoint Server Publishing on a site so that team memebers could easily edit the content web part on a page and add images (by pasting them into the rich text editor rather than having mthem upload to an image folder.

Well now when I go to the site actions button, I can only 'Create Page'. I really need to be able to create discussion boards etc in ADDITION to the nice aspects of the Publishing feature. I've been digging around and I also made sure that the following were activated in SIte Features, but to no avail:

Office SharePoint Server Enterprise Site features
Office SharePoint Server Standard Site features
Team Collaboration Lists

Please tell me there is one more thing I need to activate and it's not an either or situation!!

Here is the answer:
You don't need to activate anything else. Its just that when you turned on Publishing the links on the Site Actions menu changed. The assumption is that most people in a publishing site are interested in creating pages, not lists and libraries. Lists and Libraries are more commonly used in collaborative sites. So in a publishing site the ability to create new lists and libraries is one level deeper in the menus than in a non-publishing site. Just go to 'View All Site Content'. That will show you a list of the existing Lists and Libraries. In the upper left hand corner of the list there will be a Create link. Click on that to create new lists and libraries.
