Gary,

Just a follow-up to my last post above. Is the "discuss" tab at the top of the page supposed to show the comments feature or the forums feature?

Clicking the "discuss" tab starts a new forum thread (or loads an existing one) for discussing that particular wiki page. This is the "Discuss pages on forums" item on the Admin Wiki page (tiki-admin.php?page=wiki). This is about the same functionality as Mediawiki's "discussion" link in that the discussion takes place on a separate page rather than at the bottom of the actual wiki page, although in Tiki's case the forum is used. If this isn't the way you want page discussions to be handled, you can deactivate that feature.

To make/read comments at the bottom of the wiki page itself, click the "add comment" tab. This is also enabled on the Admin Wiki page; under "Wiki features" there's a "Comments" checkbox.

If it is the forums feature, assuming I can fix the error above, are the list of topics restricted to just that page?

Well, a new, unique thread is created for each wiki page the first time its "discuss" link is clicked. The thread has the same name as the wiki page. To configure this feature, you have to specify what forum to use, on the Admin Wiki page. Subsequent clicks on the page's "discuss" tab take you to that forum thread.

(aslo in the error message above, where it shows "//" this was were I stuck in my local website file address, but I did it using HTML greater than-less than signs so it stripped them out).

I don't know the reason for the PHP messages. As a "notice" and "warning" rather than "error", your site should still function OK I think and normal users probably won't see these messages. There's a "PHP error reporting level for non-admin" config setting on the Admin: General page.
