    Thanks Derek. We’ll look into some options for cleaning things up and optimizing our approaches.

    Tim and Todd, does Derek’s postings make sense?

    Tim, it might be better to start a new thread if you still need help.

    Sue,

    Yes, the postings do make sense, I am restructuring the approach of my site to not rely on MSM in the way I had originally intended.

    I think it might be worth noting on the sales page or somewhere in the documentation that the MSM has a finite limitation of weblog fields across all sites, and sites that are heavily dependent on the MSM and having many weblog custom fields may run into problems if they get too big.

    Tim, I’m having someone from sales contact you regarding your project.  But there are no imposed finite limits.  Such a warning would be akin to warning someone not to use more images on a web site than absolutely necessary.  Of course there are reasonable amounts, and it’s part subjective, very specific to each site, and just something that one considers as part of the whole.  A warning would merely be FUD.
