ocPortal can cater for websites large and small – as your site grows, stop trying to set permissions by editing things, and start using the ‘Permission tree editor’ – it'll save you a lot of time when making batch changes as well as allowing you to see a complete view of your permissions!

People will always abuse you and your website regardless of how good it is. Large websites will always get negative feedback from users who are super-liberal (thinking they have a right to free action on your website without following any rules) and users who are super-conservative (thinking that everyone should act in the certain way that represents their personal viewpoint). As a webmaster, you need a thick skin – try and be fair and balanced, and don't take criticism too harshly, especially when it conflicts.

If you are a Firefox user, make use of the Web Developer Toolbar extension. It contains great tools for interactively working with CSS that you can use in supplement to ocPortal's own CSS editing capability (to test out ideas interactively before saving them in ocPortal).

Use the Comcode <tt>page</tt> tag instead of the <tt>url</tt> tag whenever referring to local URLs. By doing this you can gain protection against changes in URL behaviour between versions and the effect on URLs by pages moved between zones.
