MS SQL support has always been problematic.. mostly because MS hasn't supported LIMIT and OFFSET functionality. Until SQL 2005 supplied some stuff similar to this (but not identical). To be fair, AFAIK, LIMIT and OFFSET are "defacto" standards (supported by every other major DB...) and not really part of the SQL "standard"
doc.
Because of this, jForum 2.1.8 is the first version to include MS SQL 2005 support in it. This is basically a "beta" version and still has bugs.
That said, I don't think anyone has put together a single comprehensive post on how to fix all the bugs. (Care to volunteer?) But there are solutions posted in the forums. You just have to search for them.
