Now that U14 has the v8i Task Theme do I still need to set this config?
The blog referenced above is relating to changes made in Update 14 and the configuration variable MS_TASKNAVIGATION_CONFIGURATION was deprecated in Update 13, which is referenced by Tim Hickman in the discussion post I referenced. I can understand your concerns as this variable was introduced to remedy issues in Update 12 with getting the V8i tasks to display.

I realize I will be the odd man out here, but what if our company sees moving backwards to task navigation as a step back? Is there a way in CONNECT 14 to remove this option so users have to use the ribbons?
