Threaded View in Discussion Boards

The problem:

Our customer created a discussion board and a custom threaded view for this list and made this new threaded view a default one. Now he is no longer able to access this list. When he tries to do so, he gets a nasty and cryptic "Attempted to use an object that has ceased to exist. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80030102 (STG_E_REVERTED))" error message. 

The solution:

The root cause of this is the misconfigured threaded view. Unfortunately, Microsoft made it too easy to make an error here. The threaded view (and the flat view, too, for that matter) do not work on top-level folders, therefore the only proper way to configure folders for the threaded view or the flat view is this:


To fix the problem I mentioned, the view that is not working must be removed and re-created - to get to the list settings, follow the "Content and Structure" link in the Site Administration, and then follow the "Edit Properties" link in the hovering menu.
