I have tried again, and it worked. Something else must be the problem.

I just thought it may be nice to have Howto documents now that we have
snipperts and FAQs. But, I have another idea ! We should put all
Drafts into the Member folder, and then have them included in the
respective Portal under the Subject and Topic.

Yes, but I think we may better put stuff that we can not put somewhere
in the ZBook, ZFAQ or ZSnippet into the Member Folder, and have it
only accessible from the Portal.
 
I have already created a LinkFolder in my Member Folder and inside it
are now some links that are now happily collected inside many different
Portals. This idea is originally from the PTK people, but I never
quite understood just why it could be useful, because I always thought 
we may be able to store everything in a Document hierarchy.

Perhaps keeping a Document Hierarchy is not necessary for stuff that
can change a lot in shap like Drafts. Also Links often can hardly be put
inside a Document Hierarchy, and can better be collected inside a
Subject or Topic.
