• Polls - It's not currently possible to use HTML or autolinks in poll questions. There's no fix for it at this time.
• Groups - When a person is invited to a group, they are automaticly added to it with no option to decline. No fix avalible, although there is talk about it being possable to impliment by the people who maintain the group module code. Hopefully the obvious outlets for abusing this to spam have been closed and/or CAPTCHA'd. Reference link: [1]
• Groups - various weird behavior with group-only posts showing/not showing where they should/shouldn't. If you're having such a problem, please post here with a link to the item in question.
• Update, 2/28/09: It's been confirmed on Drupal's site that the advanced forum module we're using is broken when used with the group forum module. Not sure what/if we can do anything about it yet
• Books - It was neccicary to disable the "administer book outlines" permission for normal users because it would allow them to add pages they did not have permission to edit into books. This has caused some issues for people trying to move their own book pages around. Bug Heartwood if you're having this problem.
• Update, 10/16/10 Search is temporarily disabled until I can figure out what about it is hampering automated site tasks (cron) from running properly.
• The patch that would fix group forums has been in development hell for months. Wish I had better news.
• Update, 02/16/11 Sorry it's been so long between updates. A new job tends to do that sort of thing.
• The Organic Group Forum module has been declared abandoned because of unfixed security issues, including the ones we've had trouble with all this time. Currently there is no alternative. We're not going to turn off the feature unless we find such an alternative however. There's also a fair chance that someone in the open source hivemind will take up the cause.
