Updated to CS 2007.1 and converted to VS 2008
I converted the Community Server solution to Visual Studio 2008 a couple weeks, which went without any hitches, but I waited until this weekend to update the application to CS 2007.1 as I knew that that would not be as easy. This was more than a patch and is really a stepping stone for the next major release of Community Server, CS 2008.
Several administration features are being removed from Community Server with the release of CS 2008, many of which I am using. In the end this this will allow Telligent to take Community Server to the next level and will make administration of the site so much easier, but it means that I and others must upgrade to CS 2007.1 first. If we don't, the upgrade to CS 2008 will be so much more painful than it needs to be.
CS 2007.1 has some problems of its own and one major piece of functionality was mistakenly removed from the administration UI. The UI for the Auto Delete functionality (permanent deletion of posts) was removed for some unknown reason. One person alluded to the fact that it was no longer working, but I found that to not be true. While upgrading to CS 2007.1 I very carefully made sure that I didn't remove any of the Auto Delete UI pieces and it is functioning very well on my sites.
If you run into any issues with the site, let me know...
