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 ...

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 ...

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.

Okay, it looks like I was able to get everything working on the site in terms of Community Server modules. I even got the Community-Credit add-on to work, although I'm not sure why the behavior was different with my home system and my publicly hosted one.  (A couple of thoughts come to mind, but I'll test them out later.) By mid-September, ...

Today was a looooong day, with plenty of learning opportunities.  As a result, this is a loooong post, with plenty of opportunities to induce boredom. Anyhoo...  This morning, at 5:45am ET, I violated one of my very own technical deployment rules and decided to upgrade my main website (this website, in fact) to ASP.NET 2.0, just before ...

After a long bout of troubleshooting, we finally made the determination that the reason why the Community Credit Add-on for CommunityServer.org wouldn't work on any of my installation, is that it is a .NET 2.0 application, and I've been running CS on .NET 1.1. The sad part is that it didn't occur to me to ask about that key differentiator until ...

The website has been upgraded to version 2.1 of Community Server.

There's a reason why you shouldn't generally perform website upgrades in the middle of the night, when sleep is calling you. The good folks over at Telligent surprised me today by releasing Community Server 2.1 just hours after I'd upgraded my corporate site over to v2.1 RC1, thinking they wouldn't get the release version out for a few more days ...

Very soon.    That's the plan, anyway.  And it will reside in these forums. No matter what, the http://KB.UltraTech-llc.com and http://www.UltraTech-llc.com/KB links will continue to function for quite some time. More news to follow.   First, I need to upgrade my forum to version 2.1 of Community Server.  ...
