I'll keep this one nice and short - and hopefully save a couple of people participating in a bit of self inflicted baldness!
Installing the TinyMCE module (a nice WYSIWYG editor) in Drupal 5 should be a breeze.
Basically you copy the module into your modules directory. Then hit the TinyMCE site and download the latest version of the TinyMCE javascript/images - which you put into the tinymce directory in your modules directory.
You then enable the module as you would any other.
We inherited another site today, with an interesting problem (actually it has many problems but that's another story). When the Drupal cache is enabled totally blank pages are often displayed. A quick google search fails to bring back much info, so it looks like were going to actually have to work for dinner today :)
We've come up with a brilliant competition with the booktribes guys running throughout the whole of March. The concept is simple, sign up to the site and write reviews and comments about any book you like - the best comment each day is selected as the winner.
We inherited a site that was running a very old (probably un patched) version of Drupal 4.6. The site was getting a massive number of hits to the URL /emailpage - at least 20 a minute, even when there was no other traffic on the site.
This looked suspiciously like a mail header injection problem. Even though the server was not currently sending out any spam we figured that at some point in the past the emailpage module was running un secure, and the site got itself onto someone's spambot list :(.
We have had a few situations now where we have needed to send out a newsletter to all our users, only to find that non of them have bothered to sign up to it!
So like true marketeers (were not really!) we wanted a way to have our users signed up to the newsletter automatically - whilst still giving them the option of un-subscribing.
The module is pretty simple, and currently only works on Drupal 4.7 - although we will put together a v5 release pretty soon.

Its been 2 months since the release of Drupal 5 and we have been busy upgrading plenty of client's sites, but as is so often the case we neglected our own!
When a crack team of bookphiles came up with a brilliant idea for a new social networking site, who did they call to implement it? Well, ComputerMinds of course - based on our impressive portfolio of Drupal based sites, and our ability to cut out the geek speak and tell it like it really is.
And the result? One of the hotest sites for 2007 - booktribes.
