The UltraTech Zone

A few years back, I went out in search of a .NET-based forums product and found the then-awesome CommunityServer application.  I built a couple of corporate intranet sites on the platform, and then built a new personal site for myself on it. The problem is that Telligent steadily moved away from the small-to-mid-sized customer and continued ...

Last week, I took the time to upgrade my corporate intranet on the latest Community Server 2007 update.  As with most CS upgrades, it was pretty quick and painless, and I must confess that the site runs a little bit faster than before. There are some features that I still need to check out, especially related to the TinyMCE editor which I am ...

The update formerly known as Service Pack 3 for Community Server 2007 was released on September 18.  It looks like this fix incorporates a bit more than a traditional service pack, hence the new naming convention, but Telligent still created an easy upgrade path from existing installations running CS 2007. I'm not yet ready to migrate the ...

It was very long in coming, but the UltraTech Zone is now hosted by a fast, reliable web hosting provider: JodoHost. This move addresses a fair number of issues that I experienced over the past 8-10 months. Now, I'm looking to get some Technorati configurations straightened out: Technorati Profile. An upgrade to Community Server 2007 will ...

Service Pack 3 for Community Server 2007 is on the horizon, considering that a beta for SP3 was recently made available by the folks at Telligent.  I'm glad that I checked, because I was planning to update my site to CS2007 SP2 this holiday weekend, but I remembered that I have previously been surprised by updates on occasions such as ...

It's been a long time coming, but I finally got rid of my previous hosting company.  Their sins are too numerous to mention in this post, but rest assured, I will address them in the next couple weeks. I also need to upgrade my site to Community Server 2007, which I have not had time to do in recent months.  Part of the reason is that ...

It's been quite some time since I've posted about CommunityServer, mostly because I've been busy working on a variety of different projects.  Now that CommunityServer 2007 (CS2007) has been officially released, it's time for me to get back on that bandwagon and start testing out the new functionality.  Unfortunately, I barely had any ...

Even though CS2007 has been available for over a month now, and even though I managed to download it just a couple days after release, I still haven't had an opportunity to play with it at home or at work.  I've been too busy finishing up a couple of other projects... Hopefully, I'll have a chance to get to it in the next few weeks.  ...

Soon, very soon... I haven't had a whole lot of time to check in on Community Server in the past couple months, but I'm happy to see that there is lots of news and information coming out about what was previously referred to as Community Server v3.0. We're only a few weeks away from an open beta, as per this announcement by Rob Howard. There's ...

Looks like Telligent caught me off-guard with an update to Community Server. Service Pack 2 for Community Server v2.1 was released today.  I didn't even have a hint that they were working on it. Of course, it would help if I wasn't busy myself, and could visit the forums more frequently. As always, a very worthy update that I will have to ...

  The world of Telligent and Community Server is ever-changing.  Recently, Dave Burke has been working on a CS Daily News FAQ which would cull items from the Community Server Daily News blog and itemize them for easy reference.  The Daily News FAQ currently has a temporary home with the Community Server MVPs, so don't ...

This is my first test of Blogmailr, brought to us by Telligent: the makers of the awesome Community Server platform.   I'll have to see if this works just the way I want it to, but the idea is that I can post to my blog via email.    Hmmmm...   Is this too good to be true?  We'll have to see.   I ...

And more importantly it has been deployed on this site already. You can find various editions of Service Pack #1 for Community Server version 2.1 at the following link: http://communityserver.org/files/folders/communityserver/default.aspx I also took a moment to add Dan Hounshell's new aggregate blog list mod to the site.

Before my euphoria over the upcoming service pack for Community Server v2.1 could wear off, here comes new information about some of the features in the upcoming version 3.0. These Telligent folks just don't rest! Although I forgot to mention it in my CS 3.0 WishList, GoogleSiteMaps support is something I'm looking forward to, and now it's going ...

It won't be long now...   Service Pack 1 for Community Server version 2.1 is just around the corner. Mind you, I haven't had many issues with v2.1 as it is, but I always welcome fixes, and in this case, Scott's comment about cleaning up ''encoding characters in auto named blog posts'' has really piqued my interest. I can't wait to see ...
