    Default Can't send drafts for review

    I have the 30 day trial of Contribute loaded on two computers so I can test it
    and we don't seem to be able to use the draft function at all. I have one
    administrator and one user with the role of writer. When the writer sends a
    draft for review, the dialog box appears, I can select the administrator and
    it seems to work just fine. However, after that - nothing. The draft console
    for the user still shows the draft under "drafts I'm editing" and not as "sent
    drafts" and for the administrator, nothing shows at all - no drafts to edit.

    This is getting frustrating, I can't buy it if I can't get this part to work.
    Could it be a server permissions issue with the _mm folder on the server?

    Turns out we had to still mess with server permissions for the _mm folder - users have to be able to modify as well as read/write.

    Hrmmmm. Contribute CS4 free test download on one machine and an owned full CS3
    Contribute version on another for precisely the expressed testing purposes as
    above.

    On CS4 machine with "Writer" role the "Send For Review" button only attaches a
    link to an email. No other options in "File>Actions>etc" or anywhere else to
    enable the review process. Drafts are essentially stuck in the CS4 review pool
    and not shared with the admin user on the CS3 machine.

    Permissions on the "_mm" folder are set at 755.

    Going to dump the whole _mm folder and rebuild with the CS4 version and see
    what that does.
