People often search for the regional settings. For Sharepoint 2010 regional settings can be adjusted at site level.
To change a date format say to yyyy-mm-dd, go to "Site Action" then "Site Settings" under Site Administration, click Regional settings. Adjust the format to the desired setting and click "Ok".

During a maintenance session for one of our customers a question about anonymous access for Infopath service came up.
I've found the following information at the website of Ervin Gayle.
However, I encountered one area that asked "Can users submit these forms anonymously?” At that point, I tried to go through the steps of activating anonymous access in central administration and in IIS which worked. Upon clicking the submit button I received a "Critical Error has occurred while processing this form" error. Similar to that of the user in the post linked below:

During a routine check on a clients MOSS server I received the following error every 5 minutes.
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Windows SharePoint Services 3 Search
Event Category: Gatherer
Event ID: 2424
Date:
Time:
User: N/A
Computer:
Description:
The update cannot be started because the content sources cannot be accessed. Fix the errors and try the update again.
Context: Application 'Search', Catalog 'index file on the search server Search'
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Although there is a lot of information to be found on the internet about adding security rights to your SQL server to clear this error, there is a simple solution.
This error is produced by the WSS3.0 Search Service and the related service accounts. Before changing security rights in SQL or changing the content access account to the search service account, try the following.
Go to Central Administration, Operations, Services on Server and stop the "Windows SharePoint Services Help Search" (as this is MOSS), which basically clears out the indexes, etc, and the simply restart the service. This process will recreate the search database (give it a new name) and straighten out the security issues. Guess what, problem solved.

I've just came across the Microsoft TechNet Windows Server 2008 / MOSS reference site. It contains a lot of information about installing and configuring MOSS on MS Server 2008.

Sharepoint 2003 used to have a 'save site as template'menu option. An easy way to save a site as a template in MOSS is to add
/_layouts/savetmpl.aspx
right after your site name. This will open the page where you can save your site as a template.

Anyone developing on MOSS or WSS v3 is aware of how frustrating the useless error messages received in the interface can be ("Unknown Error Occurred"), and often these are not at all accompanied by a message in the ULS logs.
Here is how you enable more detailed error messages for your portal:
- Open up your sites web.config, and make the standard custom errors edit. You want it to be < customerrors mode="Off"/>
- Then, something a bit less obvious, search for the CallStack="False" and change it to CallStack="True", you should find this in the "<safemode>" node.
